Lets see, make up a term (assault weapon), regulate it then wait till the next tragedy and call for a complete gun ban. Your right, a gradual slope.

Chicago has been doing this since the seventies and has some of the strictest laws on gun control. To no avail. But the regulation does not stop. Just keeps snow balling into more loop holes to jump through while the criminals play "shoot em up".
Why not call gun control into a vote when there isn't a tragedy nearby. Oh wait, never let a crisis go to waste.
