2nd Auction Site Removes George Zimmerman Gun Listing That He Used To Shot And Kill Trayvon Martin


George Zimmerman deem it responsible and insensitive to boldly list a gun he used to shot and kill a teenager four years ago. The acquitted murderer listed the gun as the 'weapon he used to defend his life' four years ago. He didn't add that the incident led to the death of a young boy four years ago, I guess he assumed we all know by now. Anyway he decided to cash in on the sad incident but all his effort has been abortive. Thanks to morally conscious businesses that he tried to used.



Firstly he listed the weapon on UnitedGunGroup.com, the auction was taken down just before its commencement to go live by the website possibly because of the bad press the listed received. He didn't relent, he went on to list it on another website Gunbroker.com, they weren't having it either nor do they want anything to do with him, they pulled his auction too off their website. Gunbroker.com released a statement after the deletion.
