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.

My motto:
A gun you sell in the morning will be used to shoot you in the afternoon.
Agreed.
Those Harvard and MIT transgendred types would be filling their panties on an hourly basis.There wouldn't be a ladies' room in the city that didn't have a 90 minute wait to get in!
He should have donated it to Obama and Eric Holder so they could turn it over to the Mexican drug cartels.
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 am surprised Chevy didn’t sue for trademark infringment
Zimmerman won the court battle. He should have gone away and shut up. Instead, he keeps popping up in the news.

So let him pop up — he’s done nothing wrong. I see no reason to run away from him.
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!
I bought my zombie gun though them. Also I've bought hundreds of rounds of ammo on their site when I see great deals.
I don't ever sell, so have no idea if they deduct a % from sellers.
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.
No halo?
See how small and harmless he was. Just a delicate little teen. Gunned down coming home from the store.
