may be reluctant post 9/11 to sell a gun to a swarthy type.

RU Kidding? You don't think that it is a swarthy type selling the weapon? Now that DOES sound a bit anthroporacist (new word), i.e. giving credit for scruples where there are probably none.

Nope, I wasn't kidding, I just hadn't thought of that angle - that the swarthy types are selling the weapons here. I salute you for pointing that out.

Now as for the new word - I looked it up on Atomica (online resident dictionary/thesaurus) and received this response: Atomica found no match for anthroporacist. Your search - anthroporacist - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "anthroporacist". I'd love to learn a new word today, care to share a definition?
