huh. in france, you have to register with the prefect of police and give your address.
this comes out of the way police activity developed across the 18th century.
and while it feels a little strange to do that because coming from the states you're not used to it....there's been no connection between registering and actions geared around expelling people. if the assumption that gun registration would lead to a ban and confiscation were not an example of a slippery slope fallacy, you'd expect to have seen one lead to another empirically. it hasn't.
the only exception to this was during world war 2---but that was an exception. unless you think, somehow, that all states indulge genocide, and uses the same bureaucratic mechanisms to do it (which is entirely false--there have been lots of routes to genocide), it's an example of a logical fallacy.
