The problem with that argument is...

In chronological order:

The national firearms act of 1934.

The gun control act of 1968.

The Hughes amendment.

The lautenberg amendment.

The brady bill.

Gun free school zones.

The original assault weapons ban.

And now, presently, people are screaming for more, and the ones doing the screaming (besides the ones that are screaming ban them all), are NEVER - and I do mean NEVER - willing to say where they'll stop.

Add to that, the unwillingness of most of them to denounce the "ban them all" crowd, and its not so much a logical falacy as it might seem to those not 100 percent in tune with the issue.
