Zimmerman Visits Factory That Made Gun Used to Kill Trayvon Martin 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
George Zimmerman is drawing new controversy for visiting a Florida
weapons factory that makes the same gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin
last year. Zimmerman reportedly inquired about the legality of
purchasing Kel-Tec KSG, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. Zimmerman used a
Kel-Tec pistol to shoot Martin through the heart. Zimmerman was
acquitted for Martin's death last month. In a statement, a spokesperson
for Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara said: "We certainly would not have
advised him to go to the factory that made the gun that he used to shoot
Trayvon Martin through the heart. That was not part of our public
relations plan."
