"The thin end of the wedge"
The idea is, that if we don't stop the wedge at the thin end, we'll get the thick end too. Very popular with reactionaries, who oppose all change lest it lead to changes they don't want.
An American example: gun control must inevitably lead to dictatorship. Gun control is the thin end of the wedge, dictatorship is the thick end.
