Default Wild Skies Inc. sues the NRA for failing to pay $17.1 million in fees

Brewer's law firm is going to have their hands full with all these lawsuits

A new lawsuit in the seemingly endless list of legal disputes stemming from the National Rifle Association’s slow implosion pits Wayne LaPierre against a longtime friend.


LaPierre and former Reagan-era deputy assistant defense secretary Tony Makris teamed up decades ago. That relationship now appears to be over.

Wild Skies Inc. – a TV production company – sued the NRA in Fairfax County circuit court on Wednesday, accusing the gun group of failing to pay it $17.1 million in fees to sponsor a hunting program that the company produced.

The lawsuit – first reported by the Wall Street Journal – seeks damages over breach of contract, and claims that LaPierre, his wife, and top NRA executives were given free hunting trips to Africa by the TV producer.

Default Tony Makris

Believe it or not I worked as a college intern at the American Security council in Washington DC in 1983. The chief lobbyist was Tony Makris, he was in his early 30s and going to law school at night. He was big into the NRA even then. I had a stupid job, licking envelopes etc but occasionally I got to meet a congressman. Small world. He’d tell stories of hunting in Texas to us every day

This is the company that was paying Ollie North 4 million to be in videos they never produced. It was at the heart of the big stink of ousting Ollie. Big conflict of interest implications.

To say the least.

In the lawsuit, Under Wild Skies said that it’s been unfairly linked to Ackerman McQueen, the NRA’s longtime ad firm with which it had a brutal, and very public falling out. The TV production company claims that the NRA began to punish it for its alleged ties to Ackerman by withholding payment.

Makris’s ties to Ackerman, at least, go beyond mere allegations. He has helmed Ackerman’s DC-based subsidiary Mercury Group since the mid-1990s, and worked closely with the NRA in that capacity.

Sounds more like sour grapes over the NRA dispute with their former add agency...

When the big ones go down little guys get crushed.
