NY Daily News : GUN OF A BITCH! America's punk auctions off weapon he used to kill Trayvon Martin.


FOR SALE: One 9-mm pistol — and whatever’s left of George Zimmerman’s bankrupt soul.

The Florida neighborhood watchman who fatally shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 is putting the killer handgun up for auction — and hoping to fetch at least $5,000.

“I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon,” Zimmerman wrote in his online description of the weapon. The perverted auction opens for bids at 11 a.m. Thursday.

“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 ... 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,” Zimmerman wrote, a claim that was later refuted by the museum.

...

The brutal death of 17-year-old Trayvon inside a gated community in Sanford, Fla., sparked intense rallies across the country and helped launch a national protest movement around law enforcement deaths of black men and boys.
