Calling the gun “an American Firearm Icon,” Zimmerman lists it as “the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012.”

He says it is “fully functional as the attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama to render the firearm inoperable were thwarted by my phenomenal Defense Attorney.”

Zimmerman adds, “I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM [apparently Black Lives Matter] violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of [State Attorney]Â Angela Correy’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”

“Now is your opportunity to own a piece of American History.”
