Yea, it’s likely a combination of factors (as everything is). Population, general political leanings, firearm ownership rates, etc which would cause the difference between RI and ND. ND is conservative and rural so likely higher firearm ownership rates, plus the events in North Dakota could stem from oil field layoffs or long hours. Who knows. I would just caution that the lack of mass shootings in RI doesn’t mean we are better than CT or MA since it’s a national issue.
