George Zimmerman Is Auctioning Off The Gun He Used To Kill Trayvon Martin
Update #1 on Thursday, May 12 at 11:52 a.m.:Several media reports are now saying that the gun listing has been removed and the gun is no longer available for purchase. Gun Broker hasn’t confirmed nor denied that the gun is no longer for purchase. Probably a good idea either way, though.
The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin controversy takes another weird turn as Zimmerman has decided that he is going to sell the gun he pulled the trigger of and killed Martin with back in 2012. It’s going for a hefty price, too. Bidding starts at $5,000.
From CNBC:
The gun used to kill Trayvon Martin, a young black teenager who was shot in Florida, is being auctioned at a starting bid of $5,000.
George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing Martin in 2012, has listed the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm on a gun broker website.
“The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012,” says Zimmerman, in the description.
It seems as if Zimmerman is capitalizing on an opportunity to make some easy money. I’m not saying the guy is a good dude or anything (because he’s a lunatic), but this gun is going to sell for way more than the initial bid of $5K. This is a piece of history, and some idiot out there is going to shell out big bucks to have it. Simple as that.
I don’t think this is going to end well for Zimmerman when it comes to the whole public reputation thing. His PR stock has already been steadily nose diving for a few years now. If I’m him, I’m taking whatever money I make from this auction and moving as far away from the country as I can, just in case someone buys it with the sole intention of shooting him with it..

9 years ago at 9:54 amWhy dont you guys get those 12’s from the snapchat takeover yesterday to come up with some more content.
9 years ago at 9:56 amactually i was getting fairly annoyed with all the twerking. couldnt even see their faces.
9 years ago at 10:27 am^ That’s the gayest thing I’ve ever heard.
9 years ago at 10:39 amBetter not call someone gay or you’ll be booted off
9 years ago at 10:58 amHah gayyyyy
9 years ago at 1:37 pmRegardless of what side you fall on the argument about the Trayvon incident, I think we can all agree that him selling the gun as a collectors item is completely tasteless.
9 years ago at 9:57 amI don’t think a rational person can really take a side when it comes to this
9 years ago at 10:58 amCool, bro.
9 years ago at 11:10 amIt is honestly a pretty psychopathic type of thing to be that proud of killing him even if it was justified. This is why democrats are able to get gun laws through is people like him make everyone else look bad.
9 years ago at 12:14 pmI’m surprised the liberals don’t want to buy it. That’s what killed their favorite martyr, Saint Travon of the blessed hoodie
9 years ago at 9:57 amI laughed way too hard at this comment ha
9 years ago at 11:05 amThis gun will become the Spear of Longinus for the SJW crowd.
9 years ago at 11:30 amBeat me to it.
9 years ago at 11:40 amLike the BLM’s Spear of Longinus.
9 years ago at 11:38 amTrayvon was no angel, but Zimmerman over the years has proved himself to be a real piece of shit too.
9 years ago at 9:57 amZimmerman has like 6 mugshots and is proving it was probably racially motivated. I wish the justice system could do something about trash like him
9 years ago at 11:02 amYes, Zimmerman’s desire to get attacked and get his head slammed against the concrete was because of his racism. Makes total sense.
9 years ago at 1:17 pmThe man went from growing up in the true multicultural fashion that libs love to jerk off over and was then thrown under the bus by said libs after he killed Trayvon in self-defense. I can kinda see why the 180 happened.
9 years ago at 11:36 amNo idea why this is getting down voted.
9 years ago at 1:13 pmProbably because of the self-defense part. No shit the kid fought back. Some fucking middle-age goon stalked him in a van, then confronted him. He also ran away. Crying self-defense when someone is running away? Ok.
9 years ago at 1:26 pmWho attacked who first?

9 years ago at 2:35 pmI agree with you sir but out of fairness, Treyvon had already made it home then went back out to find Zimmerman
9 years ago at 2:40 pmSeems as if?
9 years ago at 9:58 amAm I a bad person for wanting to believe he’s not a bad guy? I honestly think the media ruined his reputation and can’t find work and just need the money to survive
9 years ago at 10:00 amApparently everyone thinks you’re a bad person
9 years ago at 10:25 amThat’s because liberals have taken over TFM
9 years ago at 10:37 amThe guy has issues of violence. He’s had two incidents in which he has pulled out his gun and menaced other people including his wife. media didn’t ruin his reputation, he’s just plain dumb trigger happy douchebag
9 years ago at 10:49 amHe’s been arrested 6 times, he’s a bad person in general, besides this complete asshole move
9 years ago at 11:03 amI have very little knowledge of the whole thing so I shouldn’t have said anything
9 years ago at 11:05 amYou should follow that advice more often.
9 years ago at 11:35 amI stood by him when he was being tried, but he always seemed like a real asshole. Now he is profiting off the murder of a black teenager. If I had the money I would buy this gun from him and immediately shoot him for it.
9 years ago at 10:18 amYou don’t need to preface teenager with black. He killed a teenager, the fact he was black doesn’t make the crime any worse.
9 years ago at 12:11 pmHe killed an assailant. There.
9 years ago at 12:51 pmThis guy really just needs to go away.
9 years ago at 10:24 amFuck Trayvon Martin
