    So what do you think? Do they exist for real or only in the movies?

    I'm talking about people with a load of pasports that assassinate important people around the world for large amounts of money. I've never heard of a case where such a person was suggested to have done it... then again maybe thats because they're good at framing other people or blaming the death on natural causes.

    edit:Stupid me... yes of course they exist... thugs. But do the 'sophisticated' assassins as they are portrayed in the books/movies/whatever exist?

    Yeah they exhist. Technically a good sniper in the armed forces is an assassin if he targets a non-military or political leader. Bush tore up the old rule Kennedy made against assassination shortly, before launching like 10 cruise missles in the opening minutes of GulfwarII - directly at Saddam.

    I wasn't talking about one-time assassins. But people who do it frequently.

    It's not like you can't just be an assassin with a pistol, a knife or even poison.

    If there are, they are probably not driving around in Aston Martins wearing tuxedos. They are probably the most average looking people, so they blend in with the crowd.

    Average lookin' people? Oh, no, I don't think so. I think all professional assassins have "Assassin" tatooed on the foreheads in bright red ink.

    That's it. We need to BAN GUNS: that way, hitmen/assassins are going to be severely limited in their options and once they realize how difficult their jobs have become, most will abandon it.

    It's BULLETPROOF! Errrr, uh... wait.

    no no, you really get at the problem by banning astin martins - maybe just cars in general.

    STOP ASSASINS!

    BAN CARS!

    Yes, they exist but probably not like you are thinking. A fair guess would be that there's likely not more than four or five in the whole world at the same time (not counting the paranoid Russians). Most of them are free-lance and business is pretty darned slow. Just not much demand.
