I think this song is about how people weild their "gun"... That is, the power they have over another.
Almost like in "Cute Without the 'e' (cut from the team)" by TBS when he asks "and will you tell all your friends you've got your gun to my head?" It's the assertion over power over another inherent in relationships.
There's also this nasty bit about his "pathetic self loathing", and her (I assume it's her) finding humor in it. Maybe he thinks she's lead him on? Maybe he thinks she doesn't know he gave her false hope. It is, after all, the hope that starts the broken hearts.

Great song. This should be the title of their LP.
