A bit of Slippery Slope combined with Strawman fallacy here.

I just wanted to see if dunstad would support such a ban. And they did, as you can see by their agreement. This shows how real that slippery slope is for many people...

It's some great irony that two minutes before you posted this, a man of straw himself appeared and agreed with the statement.
I don't think you can call something a strawman if the idea seems to actually have wide support.
