Marines come up with ingenious plan to capture insurgents!

Very ingenious indeed...

Now, lets play devil's advocate: In the heat of the cold war, Russia invaded mainland US. Paratroopers every, BAM BAM here and there. Eight months of occupation later, lots of resistance arise here and there. So they do test for gunpowders on citizens. Since a large percentage of the population own guns, and chances are that even if you were not attacking, you probably went hunting a couple of days before. Now you are guilty and executed in the spot. Not that this is what is happening there (it only happens if you are faking dead, or fleeing while crossing a river).

In a nation full of AK's and wedding celebrations, etc., how do you determine who was shooting at you?

I believe your logic is flawed.

Falluja is a hotbed of terrorist activity. All residents knew an invasion was going to come. Most civilians left. The only ones who stayed were insurgents looking for a fight till the end.

Men age 15-55, still in Falluja, have gunpowder on them, provides me overwhelming evidence of being insurgents.

I don't think these Fallujians were recently celebrating any weddings you know. Falluja has been a ghost town for a while, and if you can find gunpowder on them recently, you know something is wrong.

What were they hunting? Camel spiders?

So, your theory is that they snuck out of the city, shot their game, and then snuck back in. Or what were they hunting inside the city? Rats? Pigeons?
 
could be, if they were so excited for food. im sure the insurgents already have their stash anyway.

in a city literally filled with guns and bullets, and not expect traces of gunpowder on them is pretty far fetched. if anything, you might have caught some of the stupider insurgents or stupider parts of the civilian population.
