This is one of those stories that the right has a vested interest in minimizing. Most of these threats to the president’s life come from the same source as most of the violent domestic terror threats in our history: the right.

A review of dozens of court records and police reports by The New York Times uncovered an array of cases, most of which did not gain public attention even as they rang alarm bells at some of the highest levels of the government. Some involved suspects with a history of violence or mental illness and easy access to guns and explosives, while others involved men whose menacing talk was ultimately deemed to be just that by the authorities.
