You can't argue the slippery slope fallacy when you have real world examples of exactly what you're talking about happening actually happening. If you want to make the argument that CA style gun laws won't fly in Kentucky or Virginia, then make it. You may be, and probably right now are, right. But your argument hinges on the idea that what I'm saying can happen is a fallacy when we have examples of it doing exactly that.
You have examples of a "correlation". You have no proof at all of "causation".
It is just like the example of drinking alcohol and using heroin. Close to 100% of heroin addicts drank alcohol before they used heroin, but that in no way proves that drinking alcohol causes heroin addiction or that you can predict who will be a heroin addict by looking at who drinks alcohol.
People who favor confiscation favor all types of gun regulations, but that in no way proves that gun registration will cause confiscation or even that all people who suport gun regulation also support confiscation.
Some of us are actually able to think for ourselves instead of letting other people tell us what to believe.
