This sentence, what does it mean?
The following paragraph is from a novel, Slumdog Millionaire Q&A written by Vikas Swarup. Please pay attention to the last sentence underlined. I don't know what it means. I'd appreciate it if you make it clear. Thanks in advance.
The police jeep with the flashing red light arrives after half an hour. An ambulance comes with a doctor in a white coat, who pronounces Prakash Rao dead owing to a massive heart attack. They go through his pockets. They discover a wallet full of banknotes, a picture of a beautiful Indian girl, a sheaf of papers saying "Divorce." They do not find any gun. In any cases, dead men don't need guns.

Hi, It just means what it says, that a dead man does not need a gun. It's apparently intended as a humorous remark, because it is obvious that a dead person does not need anything. Clive
