Under Wild Skies was an Ackerman-linked company, whose main function was to take powerful NRA officials on free safaris, and bill the costs to the organization. After the NRA-Ackerman breakup, UWS sued NRA for breach of contract. Almost a year ago UWS won a half-million dollar verdict against NRA, in Virginia state court.
Yet strangely there is another suit between the two, in Virginia Federal Court. It looks like UWS went to court to block a subpoena issued to their accountants in some Texas litigation. Filings have been made as recently as three days ago. Complete with something entitled just “SEALED MOTION,” and a motion to seal, that is conceal, the entire case. (Motion denied). But why are they arguing about subpoenas when UWS vs. NRA is finished? Is there a separate UWS vs. NRA suit in Texas? Has anyone bothered to inform the board . . . never mind, why should they start now?
Update: a reader who can download from the federal court system has sent us some files from the case. It looks like the subpoena was issued in NRA vs. Ackerman McQueen, in federal court in Texas. But that case settled in March 2022, with NRA paying Ackerman $12 million (and telling the board it couldn’t let them know the terms of the settlement). Is it still ongoing despite settlement?
Whatever, NRA lost this case, the challenge to its subpoena, too. The court’s ruling: “it is hereby ORDERED that respondent’s (NRA’s) motion to transfer is denied, as respondent failed to show exceptional circumstances. It is further ORDERED that movant’s (UWS’s) motion to quash is granted for the reasons stated from the bench. The court finds that the subpoena at issue was not served in a timely manner, that it is overbroad in scope and time, that it would impose an undue burden on third-party Fitzwater and Dean, P.L.C., and that respondent has failed to show that whatever limited, relevant evidence that is included in the overbroad subpoena could not be obtained from other sources.”
A strong slap-down. Add one more to NRA’s long string of legal losses.
NRA in Danger 
The “Top Men” in the committee that keeps no minutes and makes no reports is on top of it. Top. Men.

I wanted to like your comment, but there really isn’t anything to like about any of this garbage. The more we see of the leadership and their actions, the less we have to like and the greater our distain of them not only as officers but as human beings.
One cannot fathom the lack of a conscience possessed by certain people. It makes you assume that the only friends WLP and company are as disgusting as he is. I suspect that even good church going Christians would be hard pressed to hang out with them, out of pure revulsion. I am sorry for such an attitude but the more I see the less I can stand.

You know, instead of asking how many cases Brewer has lost, it’d be easier to ask what they’ve won. I can’t think one any.

I think they won a case against an insurance company in Virginia — after Brewer himself was barred from the court for failing to report about some ongoing sanction against him by a court in Texas (or something like that), so see… Win!

Ok, 1 of what seems like 40 or more? I realize Perry Mason himself couldn’t lawyer Wayne and company out of their messes; but it seems like the membership isn’t getting very much for the money being spent. But I’m sure Wayne would tell a different story.

And the hits just keep coming. 12 million more dollars? That’s the settlement, and I am assuming not covered by any insurance company!
If the gun clubs that require NRA membership changed their bylaws, they would have less then 2 million members!
