15. Huh??

Less than 1/3 of states with SYG had a steady state of homicides after SYG and more than 2/3 saw an increase,
#12:
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

Those two statements are identical except the two categories are reversed in order.

28% is less than a third. 72% is more than 2/3. Steady state and no decrease mean the same.

"They try to claim that guns don't contribute to shootings" is exactly the same as "it can't possibly be guns. Poverty, video games, etc but never guns."

How are you confused? I can't see the difference in the two statements.

So now that the red herring has been caught please tell me what would constitute convincing evidence?
