All I am saying is that gun registration regulations have as much to do with total confiscation as drinking alcohol has tpo do with becoming a heroin addict. There is a correlation but zero causation. Thus the reason a "slippery slope" is considered a logical fallacy.
And the only ones that fall for it are the ones who can not understand the difference between a "correlation" and a "causation". Despite what the NRA has brainwashed you to believe there are a lot of people who would favor gun registartion but oppose confiscation.
Calm yourself with the "brainwashed" and "don't understand" bullshit. Moving from alcohol to heroin is a personal choice. Chipping away at gun rights is an admitted tactic of the anti-gun side, it's worked as designed in many states and it's imposed by the legislature. Observing that, and wanting to prevent it elsewhere is simple observation. Political momentum is a real thing and don't insult us brainwashed people who can't understand correlation vs. causation by suggesting otherwise.
