Michael Bloomberg's tactics regarding gun control could be a useful lesson 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. How did Bloomberg achieve this feat? How can you replicate Bloomberg's success story? Here are some key lessons learned from Bloomberg's gun-control campaign. Focus first on the 0- to 17-year-olds.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The controversial tactics used by Everytown for Gun Safety to control guns was recently highlighted by Bloomberg's business section. The group has long called for background checks for all gun sales, and has spent millions of dollars on campaigns for politicians. They spent $2.5million last year on Virginia races and helped elect a Democratic majority to the state house. They also promise to do so in Texas, home of several gun-friendly legislation.
Expanded background checks
The Senate failed to pass Thursday's House of Representatives bill. After three governors from local areas urging the Senate to approve it, the Senate failed to do so. A poll revealed that 92 percentage of American voters favor expanded background checks. Senator Rand Paul said that senators who voted in opposition to the bill should be embarrassed. 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 "boyfriend loophole"
All gun buyers would have to wait 48 hours before they can purchase guns. This legislation would also finance state efforts to pass red flag protection order laws. Although the Senate is yet to consider the bill, it's a good start. It would make guncontrol more accessible, and it would prevent more tragedies. Let's look closer at the proposed legislation.
Concentrate on the 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 half of these deaths are actually reported. Bloomberg's advert does not accurately reflect the scale 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
Michael Bloomberg's PAC has a history of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent millions of dollars to promote gun control legislation. One recent example is the recent Illinois congressional special election. Bloomberg's PAC spent over $2 million in defeating Debbie Halvorson, a progun representative. It also denounced NRA. This shows just how much money the NRA is willing to invest in gun control efforts.
Michael Bloomberg's ad
The billionaire businessman's latest political ad has generated a lot of attention. It was the most expensive Super Bowl advertising ever. Bloomberg funded the ad and it ran for 60 seconds. It cost more than $10,000,000. Bloomberg's ad was part of a large self-funded campaign. Bloomberg has already spent $2 billion on ads. Bloomberg has recently joined the presidential race. He supports universal background checks as well as "red flag screening".
