Didn't Wallace turn into a bleeding heart (figuratively) on this death
bed?

Only on this issue of race; he remained a populist-conservative on most
other issues.

Your analysis (accurate) begs the question whether amatuers shoot at
conservatives and professionals shoot at liberals?

I think, given the small sample size, that the trend isn't statistically
significant. All five politicians above were shot by amateur assassins, but
one (Oswald) happened to be a trained shooter, and another (Sirhan) managed
to get within point-blank range of his target in a crowded room.
