Interesting point about machine guns, although I wonder if machine guns are so poor for suburban combat why they were so popular with organized crime and why anyone bothered banning them in suburban streets.
It's not a subject I'm incredibly familiar with, but I'd assume the mafia loved the tommy guns for the same reason they likes many ruthless and brutal methods - intimidation. And banning them, again, I'd assume likewise. People were intimidated by the raw firepower.
Regarding warfare, however, that firepower has tradeoffs. One is accuracy. The other is how fast you deplete your ammo. You'll note in most tactical suburban situations, from Iraqi footage to even your favorite C.O.D. game, the more portable and accurate weapons are greatly preferred when you're on the move.
I also wonder how a militia would overcome government's vast intelligence capabilities,
Are you talking about the vast intelligence capabilities from the Gene Hackman/Will Smith movie? Or the vast intelligence capabilities from the Shea Lebouf movie? Or maybe the intelligence that led the Bush administration to invade a Iraq under false pretense, or took nearly a decade to locate a single terrorist?
Warfare isn't as complex as you think it is. Again, just look at any number of the suburban conflicts going on worldwide. All the intelligence in the world isn't all that helpful when the enemy is rooted deeply, and well armed.
