[Harry Potter] Why didn't Voldemort hire a muggle assassin to kill Harry?

I've only seen the movies (please don't hate me), but it seemed to me when Harry, Ron, and Hermoine were running from Voldemort's thugs they only worried about wizards attacking them. The easiest way to kill Harry (as far as I can tell) while he was in the muggle world would have been to hire a sniper or simply some dude with handgun to run up and pop a cap in Harry. Why is this method not feasible?

Voldemort would be the absolute last person to trust a Muggle with a task that important, or even be seen cooperating with one. Muggles are worse than dirt to him. Now, an Imperiused Muggle? Maybe. But then the question becomes about how much direct control there is under the Imperius curse? Assuming that Voldemort knows next to nothing about firearms, could he direct someone under his control to operate one? Also, Voldemort has no way of knowing what kind of charms Harry may have guarding him. It's possible he wouldn't even attempt it, assuming that Harry would have already protected himself.
