So far the immigrants haven't really fought back so I wonder what's the real reason they're arming up.

Didn't they get like a record-breaking cash infusion thanks to the Confederate Party? It's almost like this kind of spending was...expected?

Could've spent that on non-lethals like tasers. Weird that they're buying artillery and guided missiles.... Wonder what those are for....
