I understand well all the slippery slope concerns, e.g., banning one type of weapon or function could lead to repeated, further restrictions down the line that are onerous.

They banned (fully automatic) machine guns and sawed-off shotguns back in 1934. The slope was not slippery at all... they just culled new weapons that were too dangerous to be sold to the general public. I'm pretty sure bazookas, land mines, artillery and nuclear missiles are not to be found at WalMart either. On the other hand you can apparently buy a flamethrower. Go figure.
