Regarding the line in TRH2, even though it was made popular by Charlton Heston and is a slogan for the NRA, it feels like a common idiom/slang expression that means someone is unwilling to give up something. Like "over my dead body", the idiom is used in American English almost like common-speech/phrase.

I myself live in California and use American English and have heard of the phrase "from my cold, dead hands" but until I looked it up recently in response to this, I did not know it was a slogan for the NRA. So I don't believe it was written with the NRA in mind or as a political point. I think they wrote it to say how dedicated Bertrand is to the Beaumont estate.
