Bang bang shoot shoot
According to Lennon, the title came from the cover of a gun magazine that producer George Martin showed him: "I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' It was a gun magazine. I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something. Like heroin into your arm."

Quote:
Written by Lennon, who got the idea from a gun magazine cover that read, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun In Your Hands," also Lennon's original song title. The song dealt with three themes. The first was Lennon's indignation of the American firearms lobby; the second was a sort of rock 'n' roll history; and the last was imagery that conveyed Lennon's sexual passion for Yoko.

I always thought it had something to do with his heroin addiction.

I think it's very sexual. The warm gun being your penis after orgasm.

I'd say it's definitely more about yoko than heroin.

Never saw the heroin parallel, but it makes sense.
Gotta love that falsetto too. I always try to hit it along with John.

It's about heroin. It's off the white album where heroin really started to grab them by the balls. Any junkie knows, the song is about heroin.
"I NEED A FIX CAUSE IM GOING DOWN, DOWN TO THE PLACE THAT I LEFT UPTOWN, I NEED A FIX CAUSE IM DOING DOWN"
...Couldn't get much more blatant than that.

Could just as easily be talking about a sexual fix. 
Truth is, lennon's the only one who really knows.
