Guns on the Internet: Online Gun Communities, First Amendment Protections, and the Search for Common Ground on Gun Control

Gun rights and control are well-trodden subjects, with prior work supporting the right of citizens to own firearms, discussing the failure of gun control efforts, or warning about or exhorting citizen gun ownership, among other things.
