GunBroker.com confirms the delisting of George Zimmerman’s pistol auction was done at its “sole discretion.”

In a brief statement GunBroker said, “We want no part in the listing on our web site or in any of the publicity it is receiving.”

The site said Zimmerman created the listing late on the evening of May 11, and on May 12 “alerted news organizations that began reporting on the listing first thing.”

“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,” the statement said.
