Late last night, George Zimmerman created a listing on our web site for the gun from the Trayvon Martin case four years ago. Mr. Zimmerman alerted news organizations that began reporting on the listing first thing this morning.
Listings on the GunBroker.com web site are user-generated, exactly like social media posts. Mr. Zimmerman never contacted anyone at GunBroker.com prior to or after the listing was created and no one at GunBroker.com has any relationship with Zimmerman. Our site rules state that we reserve the right to reject listings at our sole discretion, and have done so with the Zimmerman listing.
We want no part in the listing on our web site or in any of the publicity it is receiving.
GunBroker.com prides itself in being a safe and legal way to buy and sell firearms online in full compliance with all Federal, State, and local laws. GunBroker.com proudly supports the Second Amendment rights of the American public.
GunBroker.com will not be fielding press inquiries regarding this matter.
Zimmermann should have donated the gun to the NRA Museum.
Saint Trayvon was beating the 'white Hispanic' Zimmerman's head into the ground.
Since Saint Skittles had no weapon, George should have let him kill him the old-fashioned way. Bare handed.
Death threats? Bombing threats?

Someone needs to whack the “Z Man” with a Clue by Four...
He may never grow up....
It should. This idiot does nothing but dig himself multiple holes.
I hate the news:
‘used to kill Trayvon Martin’ ‘unarmed teenager’
Golly! why doesn’t some one post:
‘used to save his life when Trayvon Martin, a larger man, slammed his head on a curb edge and attempted to wrestle the gun from him to kill him during a racial-hate inspired attack’
I have to laugh at how this makes liberal heads explode.................
“...unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.”
“...unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.”
“ ...narmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.”
That’s all you hear on the news, as if “unarmed” = innocent. The little darling was bashing Zim’s head against the sidewalk and imagine tray’s surprise when Zim objected rather forcefully.
Gee, I was ready to go seven grand, too!
How about making it the grand prize in a lottery? I’m not sure if he’d make more that way, but I’d love seeing how many people but some tickets at $5 or $10 each!
Leftist heads would pop over this, and the average person would get a chance to grab up this valuable piece of history - both good reasons to make it a lottery rather than an auction.
There are a couple of thousand additional Trayvonings that need to happen.
In other news, 5 more were shot in Chicago today and there were no protests, no national news stories, and no lamentations from the chosen hierarchy.
