ISIS Weapon Shops vs Maker Culture

A hypothetical American insurgency could arm itself with the kind of weapons that would allow it to compete with the US military in an urban battleground. It took nine months of brutal door-to-door fighting to kick ISIS out of Mosul. The federal government would never get away with deploying the same kind of force against an American city, not at first. A rural insurgency would melt into the trees at the first sight of any significant American military presence.
