It’s people like Edgar Allen Beem who complain about guns (“The Universal Notebook: Sick of guns, sick of intimidation”), but they quiver when confronted by armed enemies (burglars, terrorists, etc.). They couldn’t even protect their own families.

Beem is a classic example of how groups like ISIS and al-Qaida portray the typical jaded American.
