“In the decade before Citizens United, from the 2000 election cycle to 2010, . . . pro-gun interests so thoroughly dominated electoral spending as to render gun control forces all but irrelevant, having directly donated fully 28 times the amount of their opponents in House and Senate races . . . . Since the Citizens United decision, gun control interests have gained . . . thanks largely to independent expenditures totaling at least $11.6 million by . . . Michael Bloomberg and groups tied to Bloomberg . . . still just a fraction of that $46 million in post-2010 gun rights money.”
