The protagonist knows that when his peers wake up in the morning, they are haunted by their past mistakes and have dark thoughts. He also knows that they have access to guns and don't always put the safety on. This makes it hard for him to sleep, but he tries to cope by suggesting that they should use their hands for non-violent purposes instead. Ultimately, he hopes that they will turn their guns into fists and use them to support one another.
