•After accounting for differences in states’ socio-demographic characteristics and economic conditions, states with stricter gun legislation had fewer non-fatal injuries than those with the least strict laws. States with Brady scores of 15 to 28 had 7.9 fewer non-fatal injuries per 100,000 people compared to states with scores of 0 to 4.

anyone want to explain that?
