Bloomberg's ad has had a backlash. Sens. Reid and Heller's offices have been swamped with calls and e-mails against Bloomberg's ad.
I think it has to do with the perception of a rich 1% trying to tell us how our Sens. should vote.
Don't get me wrong, here in NV., which is a strong pro gun state, there is still strong support for UBC, but to have someone like Bloomberg, who is very anti gun, run an ad like that, it ticks us off to no end.

I, myself called both Sens. asking that they vote for the UBC.
