George Zimmerman Auctioning Gun that killed Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman is auctioning off the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin calling it a piece of American History. The Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm that Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin was posted on GunBroker.com on Thursday, with bidding scheduled to begin at a starting price of US$5,000.

Zimmerman wrote in the item description:
“Many have expressed interest in owning and displaying the firearm including the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C. This is a piece of American history. It has been featured in several publications and in current university text books. Offers to purchase the firearm have been received; however, the offers were to use the gun in a fashion I did not feel comfortable with.”

According to an interview with a local Fox affiliate, excerpts of which were shared on Twitter, Zimmerman said it was “time to move past the firearm, and if I sell it and it sells, I move past it”. Zimmerman also wrote that he was “proud to announce” that a portion of the proceeds raised would be used to “fight BLM [Black Lives Matter] violence against Law Enforcement officers” as well as ending the career of Angela Corey, his prosecutor – “and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric”. He signed off “your friend, George M. Zimmerman” and “Si vis pacem, para bellum” – the Latin adage, “If you want peace, prepare for war”.
