Vox reports: A new complaint in a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association against its former advertising agency, Ackerman McQueen, alleges that the firm engaged in “a stunning pattern of corruption, fraud, and retaliation” that nearly topped the organization’s CEO. The complaint filing from October 25 first reported by the Daily Beast, also claims the gun rights organization’s infamous …

The Daily Beast reports: The National Rifle Association is suing its estranged former ad firm, Ackerman McQueen—again. The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court in Dallas, Texas, demands that the ad firm remove any reference to the NRA from its website. And it blasts a central product the firm created for the gun group: its often-controversial, now-defunct streaming service, NRATV. …

The New York Times reports: The National Rifle Association has shut down production at NRATV. The N.R.A. on Tuesday also severed all business with its estranged advertising firm, Ackerman McQueen, which operates NRATV, the N.R.A.’s live broadcasting media arm, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The New York Times. While NRATV may continue to air past content, its live …

“It is an outrageous proposal, it is an anti-freedom proposal, and it is persecution. And in fact, I could also throw it onto the list of tyranny. Because when you use your government to persecute a group of people — whether it’s gun manufacturers, whether it’s you or me — that is tyrannical behavior and the only reason he does …

“How desperate and devious is The New York Times when it comes to attacking the Second Amendment? Apparently so desperate they now write about mass shootings that never happened. False alarms. “The anti-gun opinionator Charles Blow actually wrote about young women marching in a parade in D.C. who frantically banged on his hotel door. They thought there was a shooting, …

The Daily Beast reports: The NRA pays Ackerman McQueen to run NRATV programing, meaning that people at the network technically work for the ad firm. The agency’s announcement that it was severing ties with the gun lobby group caught NRATV staff off-guard on Wednesday morning. Many staffers and talent at all levels of NRATV had no idea this statement was …

“The battle for the soul of this nation has to be won. We have no choice but to win. So today I declare this: you are either with us or against us. The NRA fights for all our freedoms, protecting the Second [Amendment] first, because once the Second is gone, they all implode. That’s why they come after us. That’s …

Media Matters reports: The National Rifle Association’s media operation NRATV aired a tweet sent by an obviously fake Bernie Sanders account, with NRATV host Grant Stinchfield falsely claiming that Sanders asked on Twitter, “Who cares about a few terrorists?” Stinchfield represented that Sanders actually sent the tweet, saying, “It may be one of Bernie Sanders’ responses to Cher that is …

An excerpt from the New Yorker’s explosive expose: According to interviews and to documents that I obtained — federal tax forms, charity records, contracts, corporate filings, and internal communications — a small group of N.R.A. executives, contractors, and vendors has extracted hundreds of millions of dollars from the nonprofit’s budget, through gratuitous payments, sweetheart deals, and opaque financial arrangements. Memos …

The New York Times reports: It’s the N.R.A. versus NRATV. The National Rifle Association sued one of its largest and most enduring contractors late last week and raised concerns about the contractor’s relationship to the association’s own president, Oliver North [photo], in a stunning breach within the normally buttoned-up organization. The suit was filed late Friday by the N.R.A. in …

“It is no coincidence that no foreign nations have ever stormed the beaches of America and infiltrated this country and attacked us. They know that a large majority of America are gun owners and have guns in their homes. That is defense of this nation. It also leads us to a point where we are able to defend ourselves too. …

“It’s not America. That is not America. In fact that looks more like an ISIS video in a Syrian warehouse than anywhere in America. Here’s the thing, I believe the reason Gambino won this award was because it’s perceived as anti-gun. In my humble opinion, the song isn’t that good. And my son forces me to listen to Top 40 …

“This hearing on so-called gun violence, which is a sham of a word anyway, is getting underway here in Washington. There you see Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York who will chair this Judiciary Committee. A frightening thing to see a Democrat, especially one like Nadler, in charge of the Judiciary Committee in the United States Congress. But that’s the …

“As the left goes after our guns from state house to state house, the goal is to disarm you and ultimately conquer you. And Barack Obama will use his wife Michelle to do just that. Do not count her out as a possibility to run for the White House. It is calculated that not many are talking about it. It …

“This is what has spawned this generation of mealy-mouthed young men who — any metric you want to measure, men are getting less masculine today and the crazy thing is the culture says that’s a good thing. Well, it’s not a good thing. Men were made to create, they were made to conquer, and if they don’t have something to …

The Daily Beast reports: The National Rifle Association’s media arm has dropped pro-Trump firebrand Dan Bongino from its lineup of conservative commentators, two sources with knowledge of the decision told The Daily Beast. Bongino’s stand-alone show, “We Stand,” had started only last year. An NRA spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. Bongino initially did not respond to …

Media Matters reports: A veteran producer for the National Rifle Association’s media operation, Cameron Gray, announced today that he and several of his colleagues had been laid off from NRATV. The layoffs follow reporting on the NRA’s most recent tax filings, which show a $55 million drop in revenue between 2016 and 2017. The launch of NRATV in 2016 presaged …

“Being a hero isn’t chosen for you very often. You didn’t wake up that day, just like Col. [Oliver] North says, and think, ‘I’m going to be a hero today.’ You’ve gotta be trained and prepared to be a hero every day. And one of the things I trained my sons is that wherever you go, people should be safer …

“With the socialists pushing for a foothold on the American dream, each election becomes more and more important. No longer can we just hold our ground, we need to take it. Donald Trump is helping, but he needs reinforcements. So as you head to the polls today, consider this: the very same people pushing for open borders, the people helping …

“I know I shouldn’t say this, I know it’s not right. I really — in my heart I know it, but I tweeted out before I got on the show and I mean it, I’d be lying to you otherwise. My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That’s it. The libs, because they have shown themselves through …
