  1. Being a left-hander, and having only ever used bolt-action rifles, I can understand how much of a pain it would be to have your reloading hand wrapped in a strap. I always operated the bolt with my right hand and fired with my left, and used my left eye to sight. I'm Australian, so my use of rifles was curtailed many years ago. However, I did use a rifle back in the day. Left-handed, and with a right eye that has retina damage made for interesting adjustments in the way I used a rifle and sights. Yep, never used a scope on a rifle. Oh, and I need to thank you. This was one of the most interesting videos on this subject that I've seen. It was a brilliant, geeky critique of movie accuracy that both entertained and educated me. Cheers, mate.

  2.  @cannibalcorpse75  No. It is relatively easy to get a firearms license in Australia, as long as you pass relevant security checks and have a bona fide reason to have a rifle, either for sport shooting at a club, stock control on a property, or as a licensed feral animal hunter. But hey, look at our mass-shooting record compared to the US. Well-implemented firearms ownership laws work. It's too late for the US though. That place has become a gun lover's utopia. Better to have open gun laws and children dying every day from gun violence than to hinder that 2nd Amendment bull-kaka.
