"Criminals Will Always Get Guns" is a Poor Argument

110. Look, gej claimed she said something "demonstrably false".

That's the point here. And, to the extent that words have meaning, gej was dead wrong: the only person who made a false statement was gej.

I never claimed that I could personally verify her story.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the way TV news works, but it doesn't usually come with footnotes. If you are curious about where she sourced her info from, you should contact MSNBC and ask. I did a little googling and I found an article about another firm (not Glock) that claimed that they were going to be able to manufacture all-plastic guns, so it's not hard for me to believe that Glock made such a statement.

Given that Maddow is a journalist who I respect highly and who has a research staff at her disposal, until someone presents any evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that she didn't just make up that thing about Glock, but that it was based on some press release or news report. You, of course, can believe that she is making the whole thing up if you want, but what you can't do is provide evidence to support gej's false claim that she made a "demonstrably false" statement.
