"To crush" a person is to physically press against them with great force, or more generally here, to destroy them. At least I won’t be pulling the trigger. The "trigger" of a gun is the device that is pulled to actually shoot it. Bud’s way of saying he won’t be the person ultimately responsible. Cut the self-pity crap, Bud. If a person tells you to "cut" something, they are saying to stop it.
