As more comes out about the shooter, I think we'll see that he was just someone trying to prove his significance.
100%, but he failed.
Killing a US president is a secure way of getting your name in the history books and the minds of the masses. Even I know the names Sirhan, Oswald and Booth, but I couldn't tell you who shot Reagan off the top of my head.

That one was some obsessed idiot who had 'special' feelings for Jody Fosters tan lines. Guessing he didn't realize she's a lap-licker.

He will be remembered forever as a bloodstain who killed someone by accident while missing his target.
Except that "forever" will probably be some time around the beginning of August. After that, his family and his victims' families will remember and be pissed off, and everyone else will have moved on.
Eta: Hinckley. But I couldn't tell you who fired the shots that paralyzed George Wallace.

I know exactly what his motive was, it was the name that escaped me. Taxi Driver minus the happy ending.
Appreciated that movie so much I started driving cab not too long after I first saw it.
Always figured the ending with the Jodie Foster's parents voiceover thanking Travis Bickle for rescuing her was a fantasy as he died. Made way more sense that way.
