ISIS is not a threat to the US because Americans are armed to the teeth.

If the average Iraqi had access to firearms and ammunition like we do in the USA, then ISIS wouldn't be an issue.

It's not about symetric war here, ISIS know well that they stand no chance on frontal a war, but more of a Taliban tactic
