Michael Bloomberg's strategies in gun control may be an example for the current White House race. He assumed control when most of the key players were weak, and he spent large sums of money in order to reach his goals. How did Bloomberg achieve this feat? How can you duplicate Bloomberg's success stories? Here are some of the key lessons from Bloomberg's gun control campaign. For starters, we should focus on the population aged 0--17 years.
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 long advocated background checks for all gun purchases and have spent millions of dollar on political campaigns. They spent $2.5 million last year on Virginia elections, which helped to elect a Democratic majority at the state legislature. They also promise to do so in Texas, home of several gun-friendly legislation.
Background checks expanded
The Senate failed to pass Thursday's House of Representatives bill. The Senate has failed to approve the measure after three local governors have urged the chamber to pass it. A poll found that 92 per cent of American voters support expanding background checks. Those senators who voted against the bill should be ashamed, said Sen. Rand Paul. In a tweet, Rand Paul explained that victims shouldn't be used for political purposes and shouldn't have to face the consequences.
Closing up the "boyfriend loophole."
All gun buyers would have to wait 48 hours before they can purchase guns. The legislation would also allow states to fund 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 gun controls more accessible and help prevent more tragedies. Let's take a closer glance at the legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17-year-olds
A recent Bloomberg campaign ad touted the statistics that show the number of children killed by gun violence in the United States every year - but failed to mention the many thousands of nonfatal shootings involving 0 to 17-year-olds. In reality, only half are reported. But Bloomberg's ad does not reflect the full scope of the problem. Everytown for Gun Safety has a fact sheet that states that gun violence is a leading cause of death among children aged 0-to-17 years old.
NRA's financial muscle
Michael Bloomberg's PAC is known for supporting progressive causes. It has also spent millions of dollars to promote gun control legislation. Recent examples include the Illinois congressional special elections. Bloomberg's PAC spent nearly $2 million to defeat pro-gun representative Debbie Halvorson, while denouncing the NRA. This is a clear indication of how much the NRA will spend on gun control.
Michael Bloomberg's ad
The billionaire businessman's latest political ad has generated a lot of attention. It was the most expensive Super Bowl advertisement ever. Bloomberg funded the ad and it ran for 60 seconds. It cost more than $10,000,000. Bloomberg's advertising campaign is self-funded. Bloomberg has already spent over 2 billion dollars on advertisements. Bloomberg recently entered the presidential race and is supportive of measures such as universal background checks and "red flag screening."
