Michael Bloomberg's tactics in the gun control movement may be instructive for the current White House race. He took over as many of the key players in the gun control movement were failing and disbursed large amounts of money to help him achieve his goals. But how did Bloomberg manage it? How can we replicate the success of Bloomberg? Here are some key insights from Bloomberg's gun regulation campaign. Start by focusing on the 0-to-17 year-old population.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The recent appearance of the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety in Bloomberg's business section highlights the organization's controversial tactics. The group has long called for background checks for all gun sales, and has spent millions of dollars on campaigns for politicians. They spent $2.5 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.
Extensive background checks
The Senate has not passed the bill that the House of Representatives had approved on Thursday. After three local governors urged it to be passed, the Senate has not approved the measure. A poll shows that 92 percent support expanded background check. Sen. Rand Paul stated that those senators who voted no on the bill should be ashamed. In a tweet, he said that victims should not serve as political props or be forced to endure the effects of gun violence.
Closing the "boyfriend loophole".
All gun buyers will be required to wait 48 hours before buying 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 have a closer look at this proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 age-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. Only about half of the deaths are reported. Bloomberg's advert does not accurately reflect the scale of the problem. Everytown for Gun Safety's fact sheet states that not all of the victims of gun violence that kill children between 0 and 17 years old are reported.
NRA's financial muscle
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. One recent example is the recent Illinois congressional special election. Bloomberg's PAC spent almost $2 million to defeat Debbie Halvorson, a pro-gun representative. The PAC also denounced the NRA. This demonstrates how much money NRA wants to invest in gun-control efforts.
Michael Bloomberg's advertisement
The most talked about political ad ever produced by a billionaire businessman is a huge success. It was the most expensive Super Bowl advertisement ever. Bloomberg paid more than $10 million to fund the 60-second ad. Bloomberg's ad is part of a massive self-funded campaign. Bloomberg has already spent more than $2 billion on advertising. Bloomberg is a recent candidate for the presidency and supports measures like universal background checks and "red Flag Screening."
