June 26, 2019 Statement from Ackerman McQueen

The NRA is attempting to avoid the strict financial obligations it undertook when it
outsourced its work to Ackerman McQueen. NRA has the obligation to pay several millions of
dollars of delinquent payments for work already completed that has benefitted the NRA. They
are refusing to pay, in part to harm AMc, but also because the NRA probably is having trouble
meeting its financial obligations in large measure due to massive unbudgeted legal costs. The
NRA’s decision to smear Ackerman McQueen with false allegations to excuse their nonpayment is no different than their behavior with Lt. Col. Oliver North; the head of the NRAILA; the NRA Board’s long term legal counsel and the intimidation tactics used to make
people fear the current leadership.
Ackerman McQueen is not surprised that the NRA is unwilling to honor its agreement to end
our contract and our long-standing relationship in an orderly and amicable manner, as
Ackerman McQueen proposed because we believed it was in the best interest of the members
of the NRA. When given the opportunity to do the right thing, the NRA once again has taken
action that we believe is intended to harm our company even at the expense of the NRA
itself. For Ackerman McQueen, it is time to move on to a new chapter without the chaos that
has enveloped the NRA. Ackerman McQueen will continue to fight against the NRA’s repeated
violations of its agreement with our company with every legal remedy available to us, but we
will always be proud of the work that we completed during our 38-year relationship on behalf
of the individual citizens that are the NRA.
