Sorry, late to this party...
Bare assertion fallacy – a claim that is presented as true without support, as self-evidently true, or as dogmatically true.
Slippery slope – asserting that a proposed, relatively small, first action will inevitably lead to a chain of related events resulting in a significant and negative event and, therefore, should not be permitted.
Again... Bare assertion fallacy
And again... Bare assertion fallacy along with Fallacy of composition – assuming that something true of part of a whole must also be true of the whole.

Please stop believing anti-gunners who want to eliminate ALL guns from civilian hands and make a police state possible.

And don't be naive in thinking that a vote on a ballot is enough to stop a police state from taking all your personal rights away.
