George Zimmerman has sold the gun that he used to kill Trayvon Martin and announced that it has shipped to the buyer who paid $250,000 for it.

“Well as I said in the online on a GMZ1776.com, that it was I was tired of Hillary Clinton’s anti-gun rhetoric,” Zimmerman said via Skype. “She had recently made comments about, not comments, she had recently lied about the situation.

“She has been stumping around for a false campaign for the Trayvon Martin Foundation. She lied saying that I killed him when he was walking home in his daddy’s neighborhood. Which if anyone watched more than seven minutes of the trial they would know that is false.”

He went on to say that he planned to use the money to support those that he says have been adversely impacted by the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I am going to donate to officers such as the deputy in Texas that was shot in the head at point blank range for no other reason than he was in uniform,” Zimmerman said. “No one can replace his life. No one can replace the service he was doing to his community. My goal is to attempt to make his family as whole as possible again.”

He also discussed the fateful night he killed Trayvon Martin and laid the blame at the feet of Martin’s parents.

“Of course, I would have done anything to not have to take a life in self defense,” Zimmerman said. “I would have done anything for Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin to have actually taken an interest in their child. They let a lady named Alicia Martin who was thoroughly interviewed by Dr. Phil on his shows and aired in 2012.

“They had no interest in their child. I wish they would have. I wish they would have raised them right. I wish I never had to, I would have stayed in bed if I would have thought I would had to take a life in self defense. I don’t think anybody in their right mind would ever want to be in this position.”
