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. 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. The 0-to-17-year old population is the best place to start.
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. The group has called for background checks to be performed on all gun sales. They also spent millions of money on campaigns for politicians. They spent $2.5million in Virginia last year to elect a Democratic majority for the state house. They have pledged to do the exact same thing in Texas, which has several gun-friendly laws.
Increased background checks
The Senate failed Thursday to pass the House of Representatives' bill. After three governors in their respective areas having asked the Senate to approve the bill, it has so far failed. A poll shows that 92 percent support expanded background check. Sen. Rand Paul said that the senators who voted against this bill should be embarrassed. 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"
All gun buyers will be required to wait 48 hours before buying guns. The legislation would also help fund state efforts in enacting red flag protection law laws. Although the Senate is yet to consider the bill, it's a good start. This would make gun control easier and prevent more tragedies. Let's look closer at the proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 age-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. In fact, only about half of those deaths are reported. Bloomberg's advert does not accurately reflect the scale of the problem. Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy group for stricter gun laws, states that many of those 0-to-17-year olds who are killed by gun violence are not reported.
Financial power of NRA
Michael Bloomberg's PAC is known for supporting progressive causes. It has also spent many millions of dollars in support of gun control legislation. One of the latest examples is the recent congressional special election in Illinois. Bloomberg's PAC spent more than $2 million to defeat Debbie Halvorson who is pro-gun, and denounced the NRA. This demonstrates how much money NRA wants to invest in gun-control efforts.
Michael Bloomberg's ad
The latest political ad by the billionaire businessman has received a lot attention. It was the most expensive Super Bowl ad ever made. Bloomberg paid for the ad. It ran for 60 second and cost over $10 million. Bloomberg's ad is part of a massive self-funded campaign. Bloomberg has already spent nearly $2 billion on advertisements. Bloomberg has recently joined the presidential race. He supports universal background checks as well as "red flag screening".

Wild hogs can be killed using many hunting methods. Shooting is the most popular method. This requires hunters to locate the animal and wait for it to arrive in range. Another method is trapping. Trapping involves setting traps near water sources where the hogs drink. A trap may contain a scent lure such as peanut butter and corn meal. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.
