Michael Bloomberg's tactics regarding gun control could be a useful lesson for the current White House race. He took over when many of the other key players were weak and disbursed massive sums of money to achieve his goals. But how did Bloomberg accomplish this feat? How can we replicate the success of Bloomberg? Here are some of the key lessons from Bloomberg's gun control campaign. Focus first on the 0- to 17-year-olds.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The organization's controversial tactics were highlighted by the recent appearance of Everytown for Gun Safety's gun control group in Bloomberg's Business Section. They have spent millions of dollars on political campaigns and called for background checks on all gun sales. They spent $2.5million in Virginia last year to elect a Democratic majority for the state house. They will do the same for Texas, which has many gun-friendly statutes.
Expanded background checks
The Senate has failed in its attempt to pass Thursday's House of Representatives passed bill. After three local governors having urged the chamber, the Senate did not approve the measure. A poll shows that 92 percent support expanded background check. Sen. Rand Paul says that senators who opposed the bill need to be ashamed. In a tweet, he stated that the victims shouldn't be used as political props and should not have to bear the consequences of gun violence.
Closing up the "boyfriend loophole."
The bill would mandate that all gun buyers must wait 48 hours. The legislation would also fund state efforts to enact red flag protection order laws. The Senate has not yet voted on the bill but it is a good starting point. It would make guncontrol more accessible, and it would prevent more tragedies. Let's take a closer look at the proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17-year-olds
Bloomberg's recent campaign highlighted statistics showing how many children are killed each year by gun violence in America, but neglected to mention the thousands of non-fatal shootings that occur between 0 and 17-year-olds. Only about half of the deaths are reported. Bloomberg's advertisement doesn't show the full 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.
Financial muscle of the NRA
The PAC of Michael Bloomberg has a long history of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent many millions of dollars in support of gun control legislation. The recent Illinois congressional special election is one of these latest examples. Bloomberg's PAC spent nearly $2 million to defeat pro-gun representative Debbie Halvorson, while denouncing the NRA. This is an indication of the amount of money that NRA is willing invest in gun controls efforts.
Michael Bloomberg's advertisement
The billionaire businessman's latest political ad has generated a lot of attention. It was the most expensive Super Bowl commercial ever produced. Bloomberg paid more than $10 million to fund the 60-second ad. Bloomberg's advertising campaign is self-funded. Bloomberg has already spent $2 billion on ads. Bloomberg recently ran for president and supports universal background screening and red flag screening.

How To
How to Select the Best Deer Rifle
Many factors influence the choice of the right firearm, including your hunting style, budget, terrain, weather conditions and other considerations. The most important factor is the type of game you intend to hunt. A scope is a must if your goal is to hunt whitetail bucks. You could use a bolt action rifle if you do not want to carry a gun case, or you could go for a semi automatic rifle. There are several types of rifles available in the market. Some people prefer the feel of a trigger-action rifle, while some prefer a pump-action one. You choose the model that you like best. Before you buy a model, however, there are several things to keep in mind.
First of all, you need to decide which kind of game hunting you prefer. You want to hunt small game, such as squirrels, or large animals like deer. You may want to buy a different type depending on the size of your animal to hunt. If you're hunting deer, you might consider a rifle with a.308 caliber. This will enable you kill larger animals than if you hunt them with a.223 rifle. You should also consider the price when purchasing a rifle. A quality rifle will run you less than a cheaper one. It is important to ensure the rifle you choose matches the ammunition you will use. Additionally, ensure the barrel length is adequate to allow you to hit the target distantly.
The type of terrain in which you will hunt is another important consideration. Are you planning to hunt in open areas or dense forests? If you are going to hunt in open areas, then you should opt for a long range rifle. If you're hunting near trees, you can use a shorter range rifle. Be sure to have the right knowledge about the terrain that you are hunting.
You must also ensure that you check the rifle's condition before buying it. Check that the rifle has been well maintained. You should check that the trigger functions properly. Inspect the trigger for signs or corrosion. You should inspect the rifle's stock as well as the finish. To verify that the rifle shoots accurately, you should test-fire it. These steps will help to decide if the rifle's suitability for you.
