George Zimmerman auctioning gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin to fund “fight” against Black Lives Matter
Months after selling his Confederate flag painting to help an anti-Muslim gun shop, Zimmerman is auctioning his gun
George Zimmerman says he is auctioning the gun he used to kill unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, and using the money to “fight” the Black Lives Matter movement.
He announced the auction on Wednesday night in a newscast on Orlando’s local Fox affiliate, local media reported.
The online auction starts Thursday, with the opening bid set at $5,000.
Zimmerman said he got the gun back after being acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in July 2013.
“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,” he wrote in the description on the gun auction website.
Zimmerman said he is “proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers,” using an acronym for the Black Lives Matter civil rights movement.
He said he will also use some of the money to challenge “Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric,” and to “ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s persecution career,” referring to the Florida state attorney who investigated the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman described the gun as “a piece of American History,” and claimed the Smithsonian Museum has expressed interest in buying and displaying it.
He concluded the product description with the Latin phrase “Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum,” meaning “If you want peace, prepare for war.”
Explaining his decision in the Fox interview, Zimmerman maintained, “I’m a free American; I can do what I like with my possessions.”
Is it true that "THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER" brought "THE KILLER'S GUN?"
