This is such an amazing song, but the clapping at the end kinda ruined it >_<

"Give my gun away when it's loaded?" is where the partners of the relationship are beginning to let go for their own reasons, and they still have love for eachother but it isn't being shown so they're "giving" it to others.
And "If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it" so how can they keep the relationship going if the other isn't willing to keep working either?

This could be the victim's mindset as she/he decides not to "shoot the gun" and kill him.

The crime could also be his affair. He cheats on her and wants her - who would naturally be the jurisdiction - to punish him acoordingly.

The lover presumably does not want to euthanize his/her lover. Thus, the criminal asks if it's ok to give the loaded gun to someone else - to ask someone else to enforce the punishment on him.
The crime could be unrequited love; so he loves the lover despite her loving someone else. He feels guilty and wants the lover to tell him to get over it OR for someone else to break his love for her.

If you look at the lyrics from a practical point of view, the message is attonement for 9 crimes. 1 less serious crime doesn't deserve the death penalty but 9 collectively might.
The protagonist does not want to think about his lover because he doesn't want the lover to be involved with his attonement which is why he asks "is that alright?" Nevertheless he condemns himself as a criminal, unworthy and unsure if his lover would attone his sins by euthanizing him.

Good but that doesn't explain the 'loaded gun' or the 'holding' of the loaded gun.

Just heard this on a Jericho marathon. Song grabs me. Haunting. I like it a lot.
