Kristy Ramsey

The column was about teachers having the responsibility to have a gun with them at school. Teachers would have guns at the school to be able to protect themselves and the students if a school shooting was to happen. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/22/krista-the-very-poor-case-for-arming-teachers/5744065/
    "To ask them to conceal a weapon is beyond common sense or even professional respect." is a very well written line in this column. It is very persuasive. The way it impacts the reader is it sways them more to side with her that this is a bad thing to do. She definitely persuaded me. Her diction that she uses helps persuade the readers that the teachers having guns in way to far. The way she uses different types of punctuation and sentence lengths really makes the article more interesting and impacts us by knowing where Kristy stands on the situation . 
    Kristy always incorporates her own voice in her columns and uses her opinions, which is different than many writers. "To ask them to conceal a weapon is beyond common sense or even professional respect." I would like to ask Kristy if she ever feels nervous to side with certain opinions. That could upset many readers which makes me wonder is she gets nervous to add her opinion. This quote also shows how she puts her opinion in there. It shows her opinion that teachers should not have to have guns at school. I wonder where Kristy gets her ideas.
