Bullshit. 'Slippery slope' is the weakest of arguments used by people who have no good arguments.
You WANT mentally unstable people to have access to guns?
I thought that mental health was THE cause of gun deaths, that and doors.
Either they are or they aren't. You can't have it both ways.
Scalia didn't see your slippery slope.

What did Justice Scalia say about the 2nd Amendment?
"Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited," Scalia wrote as he laid out certain exceptions. History demonstrates, Scalia said, "the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."Apr 16, 2021
Crucially, however, like all constitutional rights, the right to gun ownership is not unlimited. Just as you can’t shout fire in the proverbial crowded theater, so too, you can’t stockpile weapons free of any regulation. In Justice Scalia’s words, it is “not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
In particular, Justice Scalia strongly suggested that his reading of the Second Amendment would still allow laws prohibiting felons from owning guns, prohibiting the carrying of firearms near schools and government buildings, and “laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
Even more importantly, Justice Scalia limited the Second Amendment right to the kinds of weapons “in common use at the time” of the amendment’s passage. Total bans on assault-style weapons are completely constitutional (though the law expired in 2004).
Nor did Burger
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger once said, “The gun lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”
