George Zimmerman is selling the gun he used to kill
Trayvon Martin, marketing it as "an American firearm icon." There are no words for how outraged this makes me.

Yes, and let's emphasize that he is auctioning it off. I have no words for this POS.

I didn't even click on the article when I saw it earlier today. The headline was enough. What a horrible person.

Yeah, this literally makes me sick. Just sick to my stomach. What an awful human being.

How's that even possible? Wouldn't the police take the gun as evidence? But if this is true, that's sickening.

@Mama Bird: Excellent point. But either way, what an enormous scum bag.

@Mama Bird: it was presumably returned to him once he was acquitted.

I do wonder if he's dealing with major financial troubles considering he probably is somewhat blacklisted from gainful employment for the rest of his life.

@Mama Bird: yeah I'm sure they handed it right back after the not guilty verdict. We let people with active restraining orders against them and records of being abusive hold onto their guns, so our standards are pretty pathetic

This man is sick and beyond delusional.
"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. "

@lamariniere: Yes. He also said a portion of the proceeds would be used to "fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers" and "Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric."

I'm not surprised by this at all on Zimmerman's part. It's sad there is a market for crime memorabilia.

It looks like the auction had been suspended, it was listed as such in my trending stories on Facebook.

@Miss Ariel: Yup, GunBroker is refusing to let him auction the gun on its site.

There no words strong enough to describe the disgust and fury I feel towards this pathetic excuse for a human being. What a callous, greedy bastard who shows not the slightest bit of remorse that a person, a teenager no less, was killed by his hand. And now to try and make money off this - I just have no words....

Apparently now it has been re listed on a different site. They are saying its not illegal just a moral issue for George.
Absolutely disgusting!!
