This is not a valid comparison because there is literally a federal law protecting gun manufacturers. There is not a similar law protecting twitter.

Lack of a federal law doesn't necessarily make that comparison invalid; perhaps there should even be an analogous law protecting "free speech platforms" that is rooted in the first amendment, similar to how the law you cite it ostensibly rooted in the second.
