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 you duplicate Bloomberg's success stories? Here are some of the key lessons from Bloomberg's gun control campaign. Start by focusing on the 0-to-17 year-old population.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The controversial tactics of Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group, was highlighted by its recent appearance 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 $2.5 million last year on Virginia elections, which helped to elect a Democratic majority at the state legislature. They have pledged to do the exact same thing in Texas, which has several gun-friendly laws.

Expanded background checks
The Senate failed to pass Thursday's 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 showed that 92 percent of Americans support 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 will be required to wait 48 hours before buying guns. The legislation would also allow states to fund efforts to enact red-flag protection order laws. Although the Senate has yet to take up the bill, it is a good first step. This would make gun control easier and prevent more tragedies. Let's look closer at the proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 year-olds
Bloomberg's most recent campaign advertisement highlighted statistics that showed the number of American children killed in gun violence. It did not mention the thousands of shootings that occurred between 0 and 17. 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.
The financial muscle of NRA
Michael Bloomberg's PAC has a history of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent millions of money to promote gun control legislation. The most recent example is the recent congressional special in Illinois. Bloomberg's PAC spent almost $2 million to defeat Debbie Halvorson, a pro-gun representative. The PAC also denounced the NRA. This is an indication of the amount of money that NRA is willing invest in gun controls efforts.

Michael Bloomberg's ad
The most talked about political ad ever produced by a billionaire businessman is a huge success. It was the most expensive Super Bowl commercial ever produced. Bloomberg paid for the ad. It ran for 60 second and cost over $10 million. Bloomberg's advertising campaign is self-funded. Bloomberg has already spent nearly $2 billion on advertisements. Bloomberg recently ran for president and supports universal background screening and red flag screening.
