George Zimmerman’s shameful second attempt to auction off his notorious handgun has misfired again.

The acquitted Florida killer’s took his auction off unitedgungroup.com Saturday — two days after another gun sale dropped his first listing.

Zimmerman pulled the second sale on UnitedGunGroup.com to remove bogus bidders from the listing, the website said. The auction reached a whopping $65 million Friday — but nearly all the offers came from accounts with fakes names, such as “Racist McShootface.”

He plans to re-list the weapon — a pistol he used to kill unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 — on the same site next week, the website said.
