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 shootinghttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/990373128160210944 …
As well as threaten them, cf mass shooters And in dictatorships, the cops also act on the threat side

The 1st & 2nd amendments restrict the government's actions, they aren't about conflict between citizens. There's no tension between them. They're just things the government can't tell us we can't do.

That position becomes a bit disingenuous when tech changes. Ie those restrictions on govt action don’t secure the same freedoms in a world of much better guns and much more powerful speech instruments.
