Just read an article by the times saying it was just some memeing , true or nah ? <| sep |> I would suggest that anyone who doesn ' t have irons on any of their rifles likely is rusty with irons and even though they know how to use them might not be just real proficient with themAnd ? Do you have some point now that you are entirely changing what you said ? You never said they were not proficient , you said they didn ' t know how to use them at all period . Well , no , you don ' t have a point as to why you would question people using a tool that is objectively better in every way . Why aren ' t you whining that they drive instead of walk , or use guns at all instead of their fists ? Because that ' s exactly the amount of sense it makes to whine about people putting their money into a scope for their gun , to do with what they want . It ' s also weird that you say on their rifles . Weird because many post rifle that have a set of irons to back up their scope , and also weird because many post handguns as part of their collection . Handguns using iron sights . Weird because how could they possibly forget how to use irons just because they ' re on a handgun instead of a rifle ? Kinda like how I have driven a standard but I ' m not well practiced so although I know how but if I tried tomorrow I ' d grind a couple gears . I ' ve gone for over a year before getting back behind the wheel of a standard and I didn ' t grind at all . Your inability to be able to do things competently doesn ' t translate to everyone else .
