George Zimmerman is back in the news again with another example of the disturbing behavior he has displayed since his 2013 acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
His name is never in the headlines for a good reason and now we have another mind-boggling story about the 32-year-old. It seems that he plans on auctioning off the gun he used to shoot and kill the 17-year-old.
The Washington Post noted that Zimmerman is selling the weapon on a gun website at a starting bid of $5,000.
“I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon,” he wrote in a post on the site. “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.”
He claimed that a museum in Washington D.C. has already expressed interest in purchasing the firearm. However, the Smithsonian Institution said that his claim is completely made up and tweeted that it never expressed interest in the gun.
