Michael Bloomberg's tactics in the gun control movement may be instructive for the current White House race. He was able to take over the organization when many other key players were ineffective and spent huge sums of cash to accomplish his goals. But how did Bloomberg do it? How can you copy Bloomberg's success? Here are some key lessons learned from Bloomberg's gun-control campaign. The 0-to-17-year old population is the best place to start.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The controversial tactics used by Everytown for Gun Safety to control guns was recently highlighted by Bloomberg's business section. They have long advocated background checks for all gun purchases and have spent millions of dollar on political campaigns. They spent $2.5million last year on Virginia races and helped elect a Democratic majority to the state house. They are promising to do the same in Texas where there are many gun-friendly laws.

Increased background checks
The Senate has failed to pass the bill passed by the House of Representatives on Thursday. After three governors in their respective areas having asked the Senate to approve the bill, it has so far failed. A poll revealed that 92 percentage of American voters favor expanded background checks. Those senators who voted against the bill should be ashamed, said Sen. Rand Paul. As he explained in a tweet, the victims should not be used as political props, and they should not be forced to suffer the consequences of gun violence.
Closing the "boyfriend loophole"
The bill would require all gun buyers to undergo a 48-hour wait period. The legislation would also allow states to fund efforts to enact red-flag protection order laws. Fortunately, the Senate has not taken up the bill yet, but it is a good start. It would make gun controls more accessible and help prevent more tragedies. Let's take a closer look at the proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 year-olds
Bloomberg recently ran an advertisement that highlighted the statistics showing the number of children who are gun-violent in the United States each year. However, it failed to mention the many non-fatal shootings of children 0-17 years old. Only about half of the deaths are reported. Bloomberg's advertisement does not show the extent of the problem. Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for stricter gun laws states that many of the teens who have been killed by gun violence in their youth are not being reported.
NRA's financial muscle
The PAC of Michael Bloomberg has a long history of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent millions to support gun control legislation. Recent examples include the Illinois congressional special elections. Bloomberg's PAC spent close to $2 million to defeat Debbie Halvorson (pro-gun) and denounce the NRA. This is a clear indication of how much the NRA will spend on gun control.

Michael Bloomberg's ad
This latest political advertisement by a billionaire businessman has attracted a lot of attention. It was the most expensive Super Bowl advertising ever. Bloomberg paid for the ad. It ran for 60 second and cost over $10 million. Bloomberg's advertisement is part of an extensive self-funded campaign. Bloomberg has already spent over 2 billion dollars on advertisements. Bloomberg has recently joined the presidential race. He supports universal background checks as well as "red flag screening".
