    I guess it can refer to a situtation where both people (or perhaps more than 2) have the ability to change somethingfor better or worse (ie. having the gun) but only one person 'pulls the trigger' and actually does something about it.

    I guess it can be in both good ways and bad ways

    I've never heard of that saying and I watch loads of emotional talk show type programs

    To be honest I was having a discussion about a relationship I would try to leave gun connotations out of it.

    Implying both people are culpable but one is more culpable than the other? Sounds melodramatic and a bit grandiose whatever it means.

    "I put myself into a position to get myself hurt, but you are the one that hurt me"

    Peasy.

    I think all our suggestions have it pinned as a truly shit metaphor. :D

    You just lack the imagination and intellectual insight to understand it.

    Or it's just shit, yeah...

    Why don't you marry her if you love her so much?
