Funny, because my answer to what the cover represents was originally going to be a bit vague and evasive, because it's very political, something that artists are likely to keep to themselves if they are conservative, for fear of being ostracized or canceled.

In the other open hand, there's a bunch of 9mm ammo...which represents the only line of defense between the citizenry and a tyrannical government....our Second Amendment.
