Would you favor alcohol and tobacco companies sponsoring school events? Thought not. Guns and bullets are in the same category. Former Nosler employees and former Mt. View High students involved in recent murders in Bend. Not good role models for our kids.

Advertisements at schools supporting any kind of weapon related items are not appropriate. Just ask the kids at Parkland, but you won't be able to reach them all...

So far 77% agree with Gabe. Maybe liberalism needs to move away.

Ammunition and firearms manufacturers sponsoring school events is like Ted Bundy chaperoning the homecoming dance.

Oh grow up. Maybe they should stop serving meat in schools also? You need to be concerned what the liberals are teaching kids.

This is flat out ridiculous. Nosler is a long time local, family-owned employer, with a great history of supporting the community and it's high school sports teams. The ultra liberal "Bendifornians" need to find something worthwhile to bitch about because this is not it.

Nosler is a family on business that has supported schools for years before there were very many sponsors, they also supplied excellent jobs for people when they were very few employers in Bend we should be grateful to them not hateful! Many guns are used for sporting events , competition and fun.

Because guns are not bad. They are a tool. People being irresponsible with guns are the problem. Let Nosler give our student athletes help!!!

Please KTVZ post the whole issue rather than this blanket question in that Sponsors have been giving money to the community for a very long time and if some newbie has a problem with the sponsors; they should do their homework beforehand rather than wanting a blanket question to the public. Sheesh

Nosler is a long-time, family owned local company that has made great contributions to our community over the decades. They primarily manufacture high grade sporting ammunition. Thank them for their sponsorship and move on. This complaint is ridiculous.

Nosler is an excellent business and consistently supportive of our community. Maybe they should consider a limited release .556 with rainbow a rainbow tracer? That should calm the sign holding group down.

I was a five year old and I will always remember this day. My parents came into my bedroom and told me not to worry about anything I might hear at school the next day about a war as they would always take good care of me. I always felt very secure... Also, our youngest son was born on this day.

Of course. If you or I created a freaking mess, dumped garbage, etc. on public property we would be fined and/or jailed and be responsible for the cleanup. Too bad nobody in govt has the will or the b___s to do anything about it so it will only become a larger festering cancer on our society.

Because living this why and allowing this kind of behavior is unacceptable in our community and anywhere there needs to be stricter laws and rules and regulations to get either these people out of here or get them help one or the other I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen anything like

We were cited for the 14 day rule because we stayed from 1st elk season thru 2nd elk season. Our camp was clean and we didn't leave any garbage or damage. All we were doing was hunting. Guess we should have said we were homeless.

"No Camping" means no camping. Period. China Hat is not a campground. Period. So remove these transients. Holly Jewkes of the Forest Service has blood on her hands for the death of Courtney Carrol due to fire. Holly Jewkes did not enforce the no camping law. Now we have lost a life.

Public lands are just that, public. There's no right to buy them and the people living there aren't even buying them. They're squatting. And squatting is theft

People will push the limits cause they know they can. Homeless can get away with ALOT more than people who try. Just one example is litter! I throw litter out the truck window I will get fined. Go figure!!!!

I pay taxes to live here. Can I go out into the national forrest and build a 3600sqf foot house anywhere I choose and live for free? The USFS would kick me out immediately without any of the excuses they use for the homeless issue.

This is the most silly question ever! If they are breaking the rule they should be fined like everyone else! To have the local residents that pay taxes and have their residence set up there put up with this is off the chart! Is so wrong! Something needs to be done! Very sad, very wrong!!! Wake UP!

35 years? He says he moved here in 2009. I guess 14 years doesn't make it as easy to sensationalize a non-story.
