Michael Bloomberg's gun control tactics may have been a 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. But how did Bloomberg manage it? How can you duplicate Bloomberg's success stories? Here are some key lessons learned 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, the gun control organization, has been highlighted in Bloomberg's recent business section. They have spent millions of dollars on political campaigns and called for background checks on all gun sales. They spent $2.5million on Virginia races last year to help elect a Democratic majority in 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 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 showed that 92 percent of Americans support expanded background checks. Sen. Rand Paul said that the senators who voted against this bill should be embarrassed. He explained this in a tweet. The victims should not be used to prop up politicians and should not be subjected to the horrors of gun violence.
Closing off the "boyfriend loophole".
The bill would require gun buyers to wait for 48 hours before purchasing 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. This would make gun control easier and prevent more tragedies. Let's take a closer look at the proposed legislation.
Focus on 0-to-17 years-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. Only about half of the deaths are reported. Bloomberg's advert does not accurately reflect the scale of the problem. Everytown for Gun Safety has a fact sheet that states that gun violence is a leading cause of death among children aged 0-to-17 years old.
Financial muscle of the NRA
Michael Bloomberg's PAC has a history of supporting progressive causes. It has also spent billions of dollars on gun control legislation. One recent example is the recent Illinois congressional special election. Bloomberg's PAC spent nearly $2 million to defeat pro-gun representative Debbie Halvorson, while denouncing the 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 commercial ever produced. The ad, which was funded by Bloomberg himself, ran for 60 seconds and cost more than $10 million. Bloomberg's ad was part of a large self-funded campaign. Bloomberg has already spent over 2 billion dollars on advertisements. Bloomberg recently ran for president and supports universal background screening and red flag screening.

How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Wild hogs are large animals found in North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Wild hogs eat both vegetation and small animals, such as birds, fish, mice, rabbits and mice. They usually feed at night. One piglet is born after the gestation period of approximately six months. A sow can give birth once every two years. Wild hogs live alone, but sometimes they are part of a group called herds.
Wild boars average a weight of 200 pounds (90kg). Their head length is between 10 and 12 inches (25-30cm), while their body length is between 20 and 30 inches (50-60cm). Wild pigs are long-legged, have broad shoulders and short tails. Their skin is covered with a thick layer fat.
They have strong senses of smell, hearing and sight. They use their senses to identify danger and find food. They can run up 35 miles per hour (56 km/h), as well as jump up to 15ft (4m) distances. They have sharp teeth and claws. They are strong and aggressive in defense against predators.
Hunting wild hogs is difficult due to their intelligence, speed, and elusive nature. They must be carefully tracked by hunters. If hunters shoot too early, the animal may escape. Hunters who shoot too soon can kill the animal before it reaches cover.
There are many types of hunting methods used to kill wild hogs. Shooting is the most popular method. This requires hunters to locate the animal and wait for it to arrive in range. Trapping is another option. Setting traps near water sources is another method of trapping. Some traps contain a smell lure, such a corn meal with peanut butter. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.
Snaring, another method, is also an option. The pig is caught using snaring, which uses a noose out of rope. The best time to catch a pig is during mating season.
Other options include poisoning or spearing. Netting and spearing are methods of stopping pigs' breathing by placing a net around the neck or spearing them. Poisoning can be done by injecting poison into the body of the pig.
Hunters who want to hunt wild hogs must be ready for cold temperatures. Hunting in colder areas may require the use of snowshoes. To help track animals, some hunters have dogs.
