Totally. Get their own place. Easy. Solved. I wouldn't allow that here. Renting a room from me? No guns. Go elsewhere.
Then you better make sure it’s spelled out in the lease agreement. Also depends on the state. She is within her rights to tell them to move out if they are uncomfortable. Or at the least tell the landlord and other supposedly offended to cover any costs she might incur in moving.
The idea that she can do whatever in the hell she wants in her bedroom is nonsense.
What if she was dealing coke out of her bedroom or bringing in a steady stream of men paying for sex or keeping dead animals or stashing food and attracting rodents or any other of a number of other activities that her roommates would object to.
It's their home too and if they don't want to live with loaded guns, so be it.
Annie Oakley needs to find kindred spirits to live with.
Prostitution illegal.
Dealing coke illegal.
Keeping dead animal against health codes in most areas.
Keeping a lawfully registered gun legal.
The landlord needs to spell it out in the lease agreement that no guns are allowed in the residence. Until then, it’s not illegal and the tenants are free to move if they are uncomfortable.
She should have disclosed she had a firearm before she moved in. This is the only responsible thing to do. Now it was her roommates going through her stuff and discovering it (by accident?) imagine if they had a kid over who discovered it by accident. She needs to disclose she has a gun and plans on leaving it in the apartment/house before she moves in with others next time.

Show me the law where it states she needs to inform?
They pawed through her stuff without her consent. Do you really think they acted like adults and had a conversation about it?
If they aren't comfortable with a gun, they can move.
This is why many multi-bedroom rentals have individual locks on each bedroom door. There is no end of problems with roommates and/or their friends/guests/party crashers/etc. stealing money and valuables from another roommate who isn't home.
A dorm situation is bad enough. NEVER leave valuables in your dorm room when you're not there. In a rental, I'd expect at least a bedroom to oneself (or to a couple, if applicable) that can be locked and secured when one is not home.
The gun issue aside, I think these people are just terrible roommates. Seems they didn't like her from the get-go because she wore a MAGA hat and was from Alabama. I would not want to live with such hateful toxic people, probably better for her in the long-run to find some normal people to live with. These people sound insane.
"When I asked them why they were in my room to begin with, they each came up with completely contradicting stories (none of which made any sense), but one comment struck me in particular: ‘We saw that you had a MAGA hat and come on, you’re from Alabama… so we just kind of assumed that you had something,‘” she said. “I asked why they didn’t just call me and ask me before intruding. One of the girls responded that fear took over her body and she felt compelled to search my room until she found proof… I cannot make this up."
Show me the law where her landlord can't kick her out for having a gun?
Only if she violates the lease. If the lease mentions no guns allowed in residence and state law allows such stipulation then the landlord can do so. Until then, the landlord would have no legal right to kick her out.

I will need to see how the lease is written but there are more ways for her to be in breach of her lease for not disclosing a gun than what you mentioned above ^

Doubt it. If this was the case, the landlord would have booted her for breach.
