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).
