You have support for that? Very few states have a pattern of increasing murder rates. In fact, based on a quick review of your own chart there doesn't appear to be a single state that has seen a significant increase in murder rates over the last 5 years recorded.
The fact of the matter is that SYG laws allow for increased use of deadly force and decreased judicial review of that use. This is a positive how?
