"shooting a dead horse"means that you are repeatedly doing or saying something that is pointless because of the fact that the said "problem" you keep addressing has already been resolved. this is comparable to shooting a dead horse because if the horse is already dead, shooting it again isn't going to make it any more dead. Plus that would be a tremendous waste of bullets...
