While both are enshrined in the Bill of Rights, one right gets treated a little differently
Before engaging in new free speech you must pass an instant background check by a government authorized free speech dealer. Sorry, if your name is like someone else prohibited from speech and religion, it is up to you to prove you’re not that person. (NICS instant background check and Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993) Any speech or work with more than 10 sentences per page is forbidden, any peaceable assembly with more than 10 people is also banned. (Hi-Capacity Magazine bans in the Assault Weapon Ban and in many states to this day) ‘Freedom of Speech’ was only meant to be applicable to movable type presses. The founding fathers didn’t foresee television, radio, photographs, telephones, film, or the internet. (The idea that the 2nd amendment only applies to muskets) You cannot exercise free speech or religion on federal property or at a school. (Section 930. Title 18, United States Code and the Gun Free School Zone Act of 1990)

There's more. Go read it all.
I've mentioned this many times before in conversation. If we put equivalent restrictions on the other rights that we do the 2nd Amendment, even those who support gun control would go apoplectic.
