If 72% of the data supports the statement that "states with SYG laws saw a n 11% increase in homicides" and 28% of the data show no decrease what would constitute an overwhelming majority of data? Or even a convincing majority?

% based on number of states with SYG vs number of states with no change in homicide.

As for guns vs shootings, every time some study links guns or the softening of gun laws to increases in death and injury SOMEBODY claims it can't possibly be guns. Poverty, video games, etc but never guns.
