It's mostly right wingers who murder for political reasons. When you know deep down your worldview is a snakepit, that's when you decide to take the law into your own hands like that.
OK so this was Interesting so I dug into it
John Wilkes Booth was part of the Know Nothing Party a left leaning party
Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist which is left leaning
Both women that shot at Gerald R Ford were part of different left leaning programs
Actually looks like most of the assissinations are done from left leaning individuals. Not that I'm taking sides on that matter just a cursory Google search
I think they are pretty well split.
