The guy was psychotic. He had what is termed erotimania. He believed that Jodie Foster had a relationship with him, and tried to kill Reagen to impress her.
 
something to do with Jodi Foster, he though he would get her love or something, I think it was Jodi Foster

edit: I looked it up and it was Jodi Foster, he was obsessed with movie Taxi Driver (awesome movie!) and Jodi
 
John Hinckly thought it would impress Jodi Foster, a young girl with whom he was hoplessly obsessed.
 
There was this idiot by the name John Hinkley who thought it would please Jodie Foster if he shot and killed Ronald Reagen.

I don't like Reagen's policies or republicans praise of him and never will but its a sickening thought anybody would wanna assassinate a president when he/she has done no physical harm to that person in his/her life
 
he wanted to show that movie actress that he would do whatever it took to get her to notice him,read your history.
 
Nothing about that seems to make sense! The Bush's are creepy! But I guess it's not surprising that they have ties to the Hinckley's since they also have ties to mass murderer Bin Laden (good friends with the Bin Laden family).

From a 1981 AP article:

A merger with Neil Bush's employer Standard Oil subsidiary Atlantic Oil and Vanderbilt energy (Hinckley's company)--lots of strange coincidences that I just discovered now!

John Hinckley wanted to kill Reagan because he was in love with Jody Foster's character in the movie Taxi Driver. He wanted to impress Jody Foster.
 
The poster who answered with Jodi Foster is correct. The crazy was hot for Jodi and planned the attempt to get her attention.
