Gunbroker: $5,000 for a used KelTec

[Pietro Beretta]

Would you be willing to pay $5,000 for a used KelTec?

On the auction block, a used KelTec PF9, starting bid $5,000.

According to its owner, this is your chance challenge Hilary Clintons gun control policy's by bidding on the KelTec that killed Travon Martin. "Your chance to own a piece of American history."

I find this disgusting.

I wouldn't spend a dime on it, and find the notion repulsive. Personally I don't want any gun that has a death associated with it. IT's bad juju in my book.

I would pay decent money for a vintage S&W or colt police revolver though, knowing full well that it may have a violent history. I have seen old revolvers on Gunbroker with notches purposefully cut into the grips. I tried not to imagine what the tally marks were counting, but it's hard to ignore. I found myself unwilling to bid as a result, for what it represents, and also for the damage to an otherwise nice gun.

People do weird things. Zimmerman is in bad financial shape, so I'm sure he is doing whatever he can to make money. I will not be taking part.

As tacky as it is, it is a piece of history and there is always a market for "The gun that killed <X>" or "The gun that was carried by <X famous killer>"

Not really seeing the benefit to leaving this open.

From GB:

"Late last night, George Zimmerman created a listing on our web site for the gun from the Trayvon Martin case four years ago. Mr. Zimmerman alerted news organizations that began reporting on the listing first thing this morning.

Listings on the GunBroker.com web site are user-generated, exactly like social media posts. Mr. Zimmerman never contacted anyone at GunBroker.com prior to or after the listing was created and no one at GunBroker.com has any relationship with Zimmerman. Our site rules state that we reserve the right to reject listings at our sole discretion, and have done so with the Zimmerman listing.

We want no part in the listing on our web site or in any of the publicity it is receiving.
