An online auction appears to have been halted for the pistol that former Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman used to kill unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

The weapon was removed from the GunBroker.com website Thursday, minutes after the auction was to begin. It was not immediately clear why the website took down the listing.
Zimmerman had told Orlando, Florida, TV station WOFL that the pistol was returned to him by the U.S. Justice Department, which took it after he was acquitted in Martin's 2012 shooting death.
The auction for the 9 mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol was to begin at 11 a.m. EDT Thursday and end 24 hours later. The website operators did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment.

Here is the best summation of the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case that I have read anywhere:

Easy for you to say. Zimmerman has had his life ruined by the damn media and racial demagogues. He can’t get a job or be seen in public. He probably has to make money however he can.
George can’t get a job(too big a target for black violence), be seen in public, amor even live a normal life thanks to death sentence the damn media basically put on him. His life was basically ruined. Blame the media, not Zimmerman
Wow. Still a true test of a persons integrity is for a person to do the right when he is down. If I were him I would want to put the tragedy behind me and and selling the weapon just opens old wounds.
Yeah, then again, maybe all that happened messed him up.
Oh, no doubt. And many have a vendetta against him and they believe that payback is due. I wouldn’t be surprise if he ends up dead. Heck, maybe he should keep the firearm for self defense.
