Likely giving some apoplexies.

George Zimmerman is auctioning off the firearm he used to kill unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012.

The former neighborhood watchman posted the weapon on the auction site gunbroker.com and told an Orlando news station that the Justice Department returned it to him and he was allowed to make some cash off it.

“I’m a free American,” Zimmerman told WOFL/Fox 35. “I can do what I like with my possessions.”

The bidding commences Thursday at 11 a.m. and the bidding starts at $5,000.

Zimmerman said the Smithsonian Institution was interested along with others who wanted to use the gun “in a fashion I did not feel comfortable with.

“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 wrote on the auction site.

Zimmerman claims he will use the proceeds from the sale to “ensure the demise” of Hillary Clinton.

Update:

MIAMI (AP) — 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[…]

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.

The auction listing had said a portion of the proceeds would go toward fighting what Zimmerman calls violence by the Black Lives Matter movement against law enforcement officers, combatting anti-gun rhetoric of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and ending the career of state attorney Angela Corey, who led Zimmerman’s prosecution.

The listing ended with a Latin phrase that translates as “if you want peace, prepare for war.”
