KANSAS CITY, Mo. â A riot at the U.S. Capitol building is causing an increase in firearm and ammunition sales at one Kansas City area gun store.
âWe can t keep guns on the shelf, said Charles Weston, owner of Drum Magazines.
The Capitol attack left five people dead. Weston explained customers are buying more items since the riot.
âGuns, ammunition, any extra accessories. Any optics. Anything thatâs going to give that advantage. Trying to buy bulletproof vests, even gas masks, Weston said.
Tribute to Oheneba Jones Ofori-Atta (Akwasi Jones)
Akwasi Jones exuded charisma as if it was being emitted by the very carbon dioxide that emanated from his nostrils. His ready smile, lowered voice and unfailing good humour, made him an unforgettable personage.
When I got to Kyebi Government Senior School in 1951, he had already left for Achimota School. But such was the glorious reputation he had etched upon his contemporaries at Kyebi that his name was often on their lips – especially when the occasion arose for expatiating on the “brilliant” performance of past “breaks”.
Apparently, Jones had exhibited superlative prowess in my own favourite subject – English language! I vividly remember one of my classmates, Kwadwo Asirifi, telling me that “Akwasi Jones de? na ?te Br?fo oh! [Jones is very good at English] You and him would have got on very well!”
