I think it having something to do with the Roosevelts is right... I did a bit of research.
"Mrs. E. Roosevelt never heard me shoot my gun
Mrs. E. Roosevelt didn't even know I owned one"
Teddy Roosevelt headed west to North Dakota to become a rancher and a lawman before Eleanor Roosevelt was born, and returned when she was still an infant. Hence, the first two lines.
"Oh we're born alone and we're covered by m-m-m-mother's kisses
The mind has already forgotten what the body still misses"
He left shortly after the death of his mother and first wife, who both died on the same day, which must have hurt a lot. For a long time after he refused to even say/hear the name of his first wife, probably because it was so painful. I think Regina interpreted him going out west and picking up that entirely new lifestyle as a way for him to cope with the pain, as if it's a sort of substitute. That would also explain why the narrator seems to hold his gun and the entire sport of hunting so dearly to him.
I'm not sure about the "Somewhere between the ... floor and the ... ceiling" lines, though. My guess about the "Uh-merica" line is that it's just cleverly replacing the "A" with a "Uh" because it's a sound people make when they are shot.
