That makes sense too, i think it could be a combination of that and Wally's explanation.

i always thought that the song was about the gun laws in america. the whole song seems to be about the fact that the reason that people want guns is because of a law made for reasons no longer aplicable e.g. "I feed off pain, force fed to love it And now I swallow whole I'll never live in the past" and the fact the american constitution's most contentious aspect is that of gun ownership and the freedom to bare arms. eg "Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast" that's just my opinion though

im not sure and this is my opinion but it could also be a coincidence but Remember the Waco disaster back a few years,well d group involved in that apart from the feds,the davidians were a far right anti-govt. movement which would also tie in with the "let freedom ring with the shotgun blast"

Every time I hear this song I think "Damn... why couldn't Kontos have stayed with MH?" Don't get me wrong, McClain is a kickass drummer... but this song is just fucking great.

Anyone who thinks Kontos was better than McClain is an idiot. (TheRedJester) McClain is one of the best Metal drummers, hands down.
