There is a difference between an individual and an agency/corporation. Since agencies are allowed to put unlimited funds into advocating their issues on television, this makes sense to me. The Bill of Rights grants free speech to people, not corporate entities or other organizations. This rule also applies to PETA, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, etc.

Particularly this only states that the gun lobby can't go after individuals, it doesn't say anything about promoting their cause. I don't see what the problem is - this is much better than unlimited funds being used against Congressmen.
