'Stand your ground' laws linked to 11% rise in U.S. firearm homicides, study says

[FBaggins]

11. Yes. Without delivering the goods

Your conclusion (in the second paragraph) is not supported by the study - though you drawing that conclusion was clearly their intent.

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

It would be pretty stupid to claim that guns don't contribute to shootings (since they are a prerequisite) - but it's a strawman (and not even a good one) if you're pretending that someone here is making that claim.
