I’d suggest taking a look at Cox Broadcasting v. Cohen, 420 U.S. 469 (1975).

I'm not sure the two cases are alike. The USSC seemed to be concerned with public information in a rape-murder case. One could argue that there is a compelling public interest in such matters. Not so here, where the intent seems to be to harm or endanger persons who are blameless and simply exercising their rights under the Second Amendment. JMO, of course. I only have a layman's (although imbued with a healthy dose of common sense) knowledge of legal matters.
