At 86, lobbyist and grandma Marion Hammer remains ready to rumble – this time against her once steadfast ally, the National Rifle Association.
Hammer, a former NRA president and female face of the NRA, sued the beleaguered gun rights group earlier this month, alleging her longtime cash cow unlawfully breached the 10-year $220,000-a-year consulting contract she signed in 2018 with the NRA’s now-disgraced former boss Wayne LaPierre. Hammer is also seeking cash damages for fraud and the continued unauthorized use of her name, image and likeness.
Hammer has said the deal was LaPierre’s way of funding Hammer’s retirement because, as an independent contractor and not an employee, she was never included in the NRA’s retirement plan. The NRA approved the plan in 2018.
The complaint doesn’t specify how much she wants the NRA to pay her, but her alleged contract losses alone total more than $1 million. She also contends, without offering any proof, that she accepted the NRA’s contract even though an attorney with the gun control group Brady United offered her $5 million that year “if she would retire and cease advancing the interests of the NRA and defending the Second Amendment.”
Hammer did not name the Brady attorney who allegedly made the offer. Brady’s press person did not respond to a Florida Bulldog request for comment Wednesday.
