Source: AOL
George Zimmerman has been making headlines for auctioning off the gun he used to shoot and kill Trayvon Martin.
Now the weapon has sold for more than $120,000 on UnitedGunGroup.com.
TMZ reported that seven verified users were bidding for the gun. The identity of the winning bidder remains unknown, as is the exact final selling price.
Per TMZ, United Gun Group initially pulled the listing due to fake bids driving up the price. One fake bidder with the username "Racist McShootface" submitted a $65 million bid.

(2,931 posts)This transaction essentially means he was paid a LOT of money for killing someone. Think of the implications... any dumbass with a gun could go out and try to do the same thing... kill someone then sell the weapon for a lot of money.

He can sell the gun. Someone can buy it. He had his day in court. Life in the United States.

$120K buys a lot of whatever it is.

(281 posts)why would anyone want a gun that killed a young teenager? what will they do with the gun hang over the fireplace?
I'm not anti guns, but this makes me sick

(4,642 posts)he pushed this kid to his breaking point, the kid fought back, as I would have at that age. Zimmerman the wimp he is didn't know how to fight so he shot the kid, committed murder and the right wing jury let him off. That is America today.

(13,616 posts)The next time someone says "we dont we say all lives matter?", point to this where, even after Zimmerman has been proven to be a violent felon, his life still matters more than Trayvon Martin's ever did.

(3,660 posts)It's a mass-produced sub-par at best gun that anybody with more sense than Zimmerman could sell as the "actual" weapon involved about as many times as his medieval forebears sold the"actual" skull of John the Baptist, raising far more than this splashy windfall over time had he chosen a less overtly public route. The person buying this junk essentially made a $119,800 donation to the Zimmerman Shyster Layabout fund. Obviously ther are people willing to do that, but that's the fool and money thing again...
