George Zimmerman, famous for the self-defense killing of Trayvon Martin, put the 9mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol used in the shooting up for auction with a starting bid of $5,000.
Initially Zimmerman put the auction on GunBroker.com but after they decided they didn’t want his business, United Gun Group offered to host the sale on their site: HERE.
With a starting bid of $5,000 dollars, the Associated Press reported that, “bidding on the gun has swelled past a whopping $65 million as of Friday morning. However, the account for the leading bidder — dubbed “Racist McShootface” — has since been deleted. So too have other bidding accounts with obviously fake names like “Weedlord Bonerhitler” and “Stonewall McCracker.” As fast as United Gun Group can identify and remove the fake accounts and bids, however, the auction’s trolls keep registering new accounts and new bids.”
In the description on the auction page, Zimmerman writes:
“Prospective bidders,
I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon. 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. The gun is a Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm. It has recently been returned to me by the Department of Justice. The pistol currently has the case number written on it in silver permanent marker. 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. The firearm is fully functional as the attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama to render the firearm inoperable were thwarted by my phenomenal Defense Attorney. I recognize the purchaser’s ownership and right to do with the firearm as they wish. The purchaser is guaranteed validity and authenticity of the firearm. On this day, 5/11/2016 exactly one year after the shooting attempt to end my life by BLM sympathizer Matthew Apperson I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric. Now is your opportunity to own a piece of American History. Good Luck.
Your friend, George M. Zimmerman

Zimmerman’s signoff is Latin for, “If you want peace, prepare for war”.
