"My life had stood-a loaded gun"
I believe that this poem reflects on how a women was treated during this time. They were to doe as they were told. They received orders from the man that ran there life, they had no voice or opinion of any sort. These women were looked as an object just like the gun in the story it was an object that was used only when needed just like the women in this time.

This is a great observation about objectification of women and the presence of the gun in this poem. If the woman is an object like a gun and women have not voice, what is the poet trying to say/show by making the gun the speaker in this poem?
