I would stop using slippery-slope arguments as a means of debate. Regardless of their merit, they are rather unconvincing.

9/11 and school shootings are the results of fire arm/culture regulation.

"We would never make seatbelts mandatory, we just want to make auto manufacturers install them in all cars."

"We want kids to have to buckle up, but we'd never make adults do so."

"We need adults to buckle up, but don't worry, you won't get pulled over just for that, and it won't count against your insurance rates..."

It seems you are correct, slippery slope arguments aren't convincing...

You might be right, but that's exactly the way it happens. One can't exactly come right out and say, "Hey, let's do away with that pesky second ammendment." But they can weaken it by disallowing one type of firearm after the other, and by putting fear in everyone's hearts each time some crazy nut uses a gun in the commission of a crime.
