This song is about the pleasure, and the feelings of regret, having at some time injected a drug, in this case, amphetamine, in the blood - the gun is a metaphore for the needle.
"Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour"
"I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please"
