But can they really trust their guards? What guard wouldn't want to have the nickname the kingslayer?

That’s why they’ll fit their guards with death collars to prevent them from getting ideas.

Where do you buy death collars from?

An old man named Elijah, hanks out near an abandoned casino town full of ghosts.

Commie ghosts, who don't know that they're dead.

First you have to get said guards (who are hired to protect you) to agree to wear those. Only a moron would agree to that. And sure they malfunction too. So be hard if you security is fucking disabled from your death collar to protect you. Rich people are not smart.

If you're willing to work directly for such evil people you are a moron.

Reminds me of Wedlock. Little perfect movie with Rutger Hauer.

Forget about guards, what about mortar shells?
