In “Danger on Our Doorstep,” Molan points out that a rapidly evolving conflict would leave little time for conscription, complicated further by conscientious objectors. Armed citizens in an occupied Australia may need to form a National Civil Defence Force (NCDF) to assist the Australian Defence Force (ADF). We should not underestimate the likelihood of U.S. withdrawal after heavy losses over Taiwan.
It is crucial for the “Private Firearm Owners of Australia” to urge the Commonwealth Government to utilize emergency powers to eliminate firearm registers if an invasion occurs that the ADF cannot repel. While invasion risk is currently low, historical examples highlight the catastrophic consequences of ignoring even low probabilities in national security. The resistance movements of France and Poland during WWII demonstrate the severe repercussions of compromised information and targeted reprisals against resistance members.
The first thing the occupier does is go to the police stations looking for those that are armed that could form a resistance. We must recognise not only individual rights but also our collective responsibility.
While being proud members of the target sports community (considered by some as a privilege, not a right), it is a human right of “security of person” for Australians to have at least 4% of its population armed and trained in anticipation of occupation. Most Australians live within 60 km of the coast, making it a manageable area for an occupier.
Options include hiding out in the bush, or when needed by the ADF support their actions in occupied Australia. So rather than succumbing to a “National Victim Disarmament” propaganda that appeases groups like the CCP and their advocates like Mr. Dan Andrews, standup and say NO>
