George Zimmerman’s name trended on Twitter late Wednesday night, and it will likely be filling most social newsfeeds throughout Thursday. That’s the day his auction begins — he’s selling the very gun he used to kill unarmed, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. He calls the gun an “American Firearm Icon” and wrote that proceeds will be used to “fight [Black Lives Matter] violence against Law Enforcement officers” and to “ensure the demise of Angela Corey’s persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric,” though he hasn’t expounded upon how.
