This implies that substantially greater than 17% of homicides are committed with guns purchased within some “waiting period” time period. This is utter bull shite. How do you not see such a remarkable flaw in this study?
No, it doesn't unless I'm misunderstanding you.
It's comparing different states - not all states have a waiting period so it's very much possible for most murders to be committed within or outside a waiting period because some states don't have a waiting period.
It doesn't imply that at all. The 17% implies that compared to states that don't have a waiting period, there are 17% fewer homicides (controlling for everything else).

Stay out of the weeds. Keep it simple here.
You posted that this study suggests that some length of waiting period would result in 17% fewer homicides because people “cool off” - or is that not what you posted?
That would imply that substantially more than 17% of murders (because the waiting period would not be 100% effective) are committed with guns that a waiting period pertains to, that is a recently purchased firearm. Correct?
