During Friday NBC programming, host Yasmin Vossoughian observed that Oregon enforces tighter firearm ownership rules than most states. The Bend and La Pine schools had already barred concealed weapons from campus grounds.

A shooting occurred there this week, yet an armed civilian who entered immediately after the attacker fatally shot him. Vossoughian asked whether the episode would generate difficult debates over further limits. Correspondent Liz Kreutz noted some invoked the incident to support wider gun possession while others questioned how the gunman obtained a weapon.
