Why move the goal posts? An “unwilling transaction” is either theft, fraud, or coercion, pure and simple.
Why should it be legal to pay somebody to kill? That seems insane to me. Especially since the laws in many countries could/would hold financial institutions liable for any murder they inadvertently facilitated by processing that transaction. If it wasn’t disallowed by the state, the private institutions would prohibit it of their own accord. What’s the difference?
There are also many laws regarding incitement to violence and the like. Paying a hit man would be that, no?
“I don’t want the government to tell me what to do” is childish. Tell me why a society should tolerate the ability to pay for a hitman if we’ve already agreed that murder is wrong?
