the gun

The gun leads to an ad hoc re-evaluation of life. A man can shoot someone for robbing his home, his car, his self. Regardless of the value of the items this man has in his car, his house, or on his person, with a gun he decides that these things are worth more than the robber. He discharges his firearm into the robber rendering him a lifeless thing.

But what is his now lifeless body worth? Was he a smoker? Maybe his lungs would make good donor material. What was his blood type? He's a veritable trove of organs and tissue up for grabs. Better put him on ice gunslinger, you've made yourself a killing on the body part black market.
