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?
It's saying the opposite.
83% of homicides are committed outside the waiting period, not within the waiting period.
Only 17% of murders are committed within the waiting period which seems very plausible to me (i.e would have been committed in that time frame if there was no waiting period in place).
A reduction of 17% is because the waiting period stops 17% of gun homicides from occurring. I'm not sure why this is unrealistic - most murders are committed outside the waiting period of a 5 days/week.

No. You’re confused.

You can’t be this ignorant. You’ve peppered this thread and others with all sorts of statistics you give no sources for, and the first study you actually provide a link to has as its foundation a belief that more than 17% of homicides are committed with guns purchased within 5 days (or one week) of the homicide?
You can’t be serious.
