I feel that this song is about people who never get the full picture and idea or concept. They do things in vain, never understanding the deeper meaning. They live life as empty shells, never able to be truly fulfilled, on a spiritual/emotional level. Instead, they are satisfied by the superficial. A dog can throw his bone around and be quite contented by this simple action, and that is it- there is no more to it. A man can wave his gun around and much like the dog be contented, without putting any real thought into it. The man in the song is the primal force or aspect of society- nature in its true and crude form.
I'm pretty sure "shoot his gun" means to ejaculate, because there are so many other references to puberty and sex and reproduction in this song. It's comparing not understanding the lyrics to a song (but still enjoying it) to not understanding the purpose of sex.

@viperxle He felt like shit and this is him talking about everyone else not getting it. He's saying they don't get it and he's got his gun but he doesn't know what it means either....

He wrote the song about David Geffen, He would get all coked up and he's having a Phil Spector moment, waving his gun around in the studio, singing with what there playing, I can remember Lennon saying that the whole time he was making the album Imagine, Spector never put his 357away, well I guess that Geffen never murdered anyone
