Letters: Did the real slippery slope start with weapons ban reversal?

Gun Rights

Recently, a letter was published by Paul Hogan claiming that a ban on “automatic assault weapons” would lead to a “slippery slope” in which all automatic weapons would be banned.

During the Clinton administration, a 10-year ban was placed on automatic assault weapons and it resulted in fewer instances of murders/injuries from assault weapons. Unfortunately, the National Rifle Association was able to lobby Congress successfully and that ban expired.

Afterward, the number of mass shootings skyrocketed, with AR-15-style weapons becoming the weapon of choice, particularly in school shootings. Is that (school shootings) the “slippery slope” Hogan is referring to?
