I don’t have strong opinions on guns, but if you shift emphasis from speech to assembly, it becomes hard to ignore the tension between first and second amendments. Ie guns are clearly a threat to free assembly. Bots targeting trending topics is online analog to mass shooting

Free speech is not that tricky, it’s the ‘assembly’ part of free speech and assembly that causes the trouble, because people are not always free to assemble/disassemble in physical spaces Online though, if you speak freely and nobody assembles, you’re likely the problem

Today yes though that wasn't the original context. A well regulated militia in 1776 was very key in preventing King George from impinging on free speech.
