GunBroker.com took down the gun used to kill Trayvon Martin, but it hasn't said a word about the KKK robes and Nazi flags on its website.

The website that sold George Zimmerman’s gun that killed Trayvon Martin is now selling Ku Klux Klan and Nazi paraphernalia.

Trayvon Martin Killer's Zimmerman to Auction off Gun

GunBroker.com says it is the world’s largest gun auction but has branched into KKK robes and Nazi flags, revealed an NBC 4 I-Team investigation on Thursday.

“These are modern manifestations of hate and having them linked to a gun site is frankly outrageous,” said Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Extremism, to NBC.

“The notion that somebody can access the hate that is sort of underscoring a lot of what we’re seeing — and at the same time be able to buy a gun is just an unnecessary one-stop shop for people.”

Among the items listed are a KKK brass spittoon, a “KKK Gut Hood Neck Knife laser" and a KKK women's pendant auctioning off at US$680.

The website retracted Zimmerman’s gun following public outrage but would not respond to NBC requests for comment.
