10. Without delivering the goods?

Less than 1/3 of states with SYG had a steady state of homicides after SYG and more than 2/3 saw an increase, some as high as 30%. Elsewhere in the article a spokesman for JAMA cited other factors such as % of gun ownership and a prevalence of self defense claims being contributing factors that need further study.

So let's see, an overwhelming majority of data supports SYG as increasing homicide and a small minority of data supports no decrease (something SYG promoters claim as a benefit).

Not delivering goods eh? Yeah, SOMEBODY is short on delivery every time they try to claim that guns don't contribute to shootings.
