An eBAY seller will be auctioning off his autographed picture of Jim Carrey in order to buy a Glock to protect his family.

“I’m selling this Jim Carrey Autographed B&W 8X10 Photo (mint condition) in hopes that I sell it for enough to buy a GUN to protect my family,” the listing reads, which was posted by a seller going by the name “astrobuzz.”

“I’m thinking of getting the Glock G30S .45 ACP Pistol which retails for $640 U.S.,” he continues. “Hopefully I can get at least that much for the autographed photo. If it sells for more than I’ll get a laser sight for it and take some gun safety classes and get my concealed carry’ permit.”

Astrobuzz then goes on to say that he “lost all respect” for Mr. Carrey after he released a music video mocking Charlton Heston, titled, “Cold Dead Hands.”

“I believe in the 2nd Amendment and my rights shall not be infringed! From MY cold dead hands Mr. Carrey!” the listing concludes.

Over 100 bids had been placed on the autographed photo by Wednesday afternoon, bringing the price up to $860. Bidders still have five more days before the item is auctioned off.
