Burt was working his way towards letting everyone carry a gun, and that resulted in Carly and
Simon trying to go it alone and that is how they wound up dead.
Chinwe knew she needed strength of numbers. You saw how pissed she was when they lossed ten percent in that last convoy that got attacked (3 of their 30). She probably felt that arming everyone would lead to more desertions.
I'm thinking the reason
the Mallers didn't want to go directly to CJ's Tower and claim it as thier own was because they didn't know all the variables involved; I think they had an idea of where it was but didn't know it's exact locale, yet, and I believe they were uncertain of the number of people populating CJ's tower, how well they were armed, and/or what kind of people were in it (i.e. former prison guards, police, SWAT, etc.). A good reason they attacked and wanted to claim
Michael's tower is because they knew these things. They knew the exact location of his tower, approximately how many people were in it, and that all thier ammo and food supplies had been stolen (thanks to the rat). So it seemed like the better target for them.
