Justice to count feds' guns By Tim Devaney
News from The Hill
Justice to count feds' guns By Tim Devaney
The Justice Department is updating a report on how many guns the federal government has.
It will be the first time Justice has addressed the topic in six years, and it comes as conservative and libertarian complaints about an excessively gun-happy government have intensified.
The issue was central to the recent controversy generated by a stand-off between right-wing rancher Cliven Bundy and agents from the Bureau of Land Management in Nevada.

Soldier's Cross
In this file photo, a Soldier's Cross stands in front of the
podium as speakers address the crowd during the annual Memorial Day service at
the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery on Sunday, May 30, 2010, in Rittman,
Ohio.
The cross, used to mark the area on a battlefield where a soldier was killed
and buried, was made using the soldier's rifle with the bayonet thrust into the
ground with his helmet placed on top and the boots placed in front.

One of the last Confederate generals surrenders — History.com This Day in History — 5/26/1865:
"Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, commander of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi division, surrenders on this day in 1865, one of the last Confederate generals to capitulate. Smith, who had become commander of the area in January 1863, was charged with keeping the Mississippi River open to the Southerners.
Yet he was more interested in recapturing Arkansas and Missouri, largely because of the influence of Arkansans in the Confederate Congress who helped to secure his appointment." ...
