George Zimmerman is looking to make some cash by selling the gun he used to kill unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012.
The pistol was recently posted to auction site GunBroker.com with a description that called it “a piece of American History” and a “firearm icon.”
The minimum bid started at $5,000, and the auction was scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. PST. The post is no longer available, with the page now leading to an error message that reads: “Sorry, but the item you have requested is no longer in the system.”
HipHopDX contacted GunBroker.com’s press office for details on where the post went but didn’t hear back. Their Twitter feed is currently set to private.
The post also said that some of the proceeds from the sale would go towards fighting “BLM [Black Lives Matter] violence against Law Enforcement officers” and to “ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”
Angela Correy led the prosecution in the case against former neighborhood watchman Zimmerman, who claimed self-defense in Martin’s death and was acquitted of all charges. The shooting and the verdict set off protests across the U.S. and galvanized national debates about race relations, including many contributions from the Hip Hop community.
Zimmerman spoke with WOFL about why he wanted to sell the gun. “I thought it’s time to move past the firearm,” he said. “And if I sell it and it sells, I move past it. Otherwise, it’s going in a safe for my grandkids and never to be used or seen again.”
Trayvon Martin’s father issued a statement through the family’s attorney on Twitter, which said that the Trayvon Martin Foundation has “no comment on the actions of that person that murdered Trayvon.”

I wish somebody would just fucking stop him out already he’s treating this like a joke he clearly is a racist that does not care about his actions and needs to be dealt with A.S.A.P
I think hiphopdx is trying to copy Worldstar by posting non-hiphop related things.
That’s why hip hop sucks now cause mfs like you are adverse to substance.. They are catering to niggas like you don’t want to deal with any issues unless you personally get caught up. Get ur head out the sand.
This can’t bcan’t be real or oor one can be this stupid
I loved to own that. GZ was just making the neighborhood safe. Black ppl always cause trouble and attention for no reason. You black ppl want be gangster. Why don’t you go read a book. American Black men suck. Black men from other countries don’t even respect you all. Black ppl kill themselves then say black lives matter. You make babies, leave your women and love spending time in jail. Grow up and get a life black men. Be fathers and loving husbands to our black women.
People’s choice u are racist to not all black people are out there being violent and cause trouble their are still many blacks that do take care of their wives, and, children, have a nice house and are well educated so don’t get it twisted u suck man for even talking down black people in the first place u probably don’t have any black friends let alone friends at all i see why u support violence and brutally against blacks wow man why support a man trying to auction his gun that he used to killed a unarmed young black teen when that same gun that’s sold maybe used to wrongfully murder another innocent person come on mr. People’s choice wake up America is killing it’s self cause we can’t accept one another for what race they are sad man and apparently ignorant people like u are to u jerk
