There is also the reference: "the damn thing gone wild" which is a line from a song called "old black Betty" which back in the 70's was rumored to be about drugs- BUT also guns-
So to me, this song keeps circling back to guns.
@recitation the song "Black Betty" was originally a song from the 1930's that was a folk based song with themes of working and marching (it may have been in reference to an alcohol drink/bottle).
