Behind the scenes

 * The episode title and theme of the episode is a parody on gun control, with guitars being treated as guns, and guns being treated as inoffensive items.
 * Harvey's middle initial is "T," just like it was in the previous episode, "Droopy Botox."
 * Phil's application form for a medal of honor says August.
 * Harvey mentions the Green Day song "Time of Your Life."
 * Quick Draw's line, "Get your paws off me, you damn dirty kids" is a paraphrase of Taylor/Charlton Heston's famous line, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty apes," in the film Planet of the Apes.

Errors

 * Phil LaMarr is credited for voicing Black Vulcan, although he doesn't appear.
 * The voice credits list Baba Looey as Baba Louie.
