This really doesn’t mean anything. It’s not like RI policies or gun control are better or mental health services are better. I say we’ve just been lucky which we all know is barely a notch above “thoughts and prayers” on the effectiveness scale. This is not something to celebrate.

Meh... RI has about as robust a social safety net as you can find in the United States. Parental leave, comparatively high minimum wage, child care, TDI, TCI.

It certainly isn't a "fuck you. You're on your own." state. Maybe that helps?

Absolutely allow people to celebrate that there hasn’t been a mass shooting in their state. Come on.

Edit; yes it’s likely more about statistics due to our low population, but still, go us even if it’s a spurious statistic
