Michael Bloomberg's tactics in the gun control movement may be instructive 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. But how did Bloomberg do it all? How can you replicate Bloomberg's success story? 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 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 $2.5million on Virginia races last year to help elect a Democratic majority in state house. They are promising to do the same in Texas where there are many gun-friendly laws.
Expanded background checks
The Senate has failed in its attempt to pass Thursday's House of Representatives passed bill. The Senate has failed to approve the measure after three local governors have urged the chamber to pass it. 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. 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 "boyfriend loophole"
The bill would mandate that all gun buyers must wait 48 hours. 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. This would make gun control easier and prevent more tragedies. Let's take a closer glance at the legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 year-olds
Bloomberg ran a campaign that highlighted statistics about the number children who die in gun violence every year in America. But it did not mention the many thousands non-fatal shootings involving children aged 0-17. In reality, only half of those deaths are reported. Bloomberg's ad doesn't reflect the entire 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 muscle of the NRA
Michael Bloomberg's PAC has a track record of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent millions of dollars to promote gun control legislation. The recent Illinois congressional special election is one of these latest examples. Bloomberg's PAC spent over $2 million in defeating Debbie Halvorson, a progun representative. It also denounced 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 advertising ever. Bloomberg funded the advertisement, which ran for 60 seconds, and cost more that $10 million. Bloomberg's ad was part of a large self-funded campaign. He has already spent over $2 billion on advertisements. Bloomberg recently entered the presidential race and is supportive of measures such as universal background checks and "red flag screening."
