George Zimmerman has listed the gun with which he killed Trayvon Martin in 2012 for auction, touting it as “your opportunity to own a piece of American history”

"Piece of American History" is a bit of a stretch but it'll likely be a valid way to increase the bids.

He can auction it if he wants to be fair.

Gun was removed from the web site stating they want nothing to do with this gun and what it stands for

Zimmerman Shot Down by Auction Site for Trying to Sell Travyon Martin Gun - The Daily Beast

Is now on another auction site >sigh<

What the hell is wrong with this guy? He signs off with the Roman saying: "If you want peace, prepare for war."

I mean, fair enough, it is a piece of American history but... tad insensitive. Just a tad.

Methinks Mr Zimmerman should take care with who he sells the gun to.
The winner of his auction will want to collect, examine and probably try out his new purchase.
A weapon that has killed twice might become a bigger slice of american history than one that has killed only once.
