Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie Saturday scolded a gun-rights activist in a testy exchange at a town hall event in Iowa, saying at one point: "Give me one. One fact. Got one?"
"I'm still waiting for one fact from you, one fact about me being anti-gun," Christie told the man at a community college in Ankeny, Iowa,
The Des Moines Register reports. About 120 people attended the event.
The man, who only said that he was a member of the Iowa Gun Owners group, questioned Christie on a 2013 proposal for a statewide gun-owner identification program, according to the Register.
"By the way, I vetoed the ID system," Christie said. He stood a few feet from the man, staring at him. "You're wrong about that, too.
"If you want debate me, run for president, get in the top 10 and come to Fox in Cleveland on August 6 and I'd be happy to debate you," Christie said, the Register reports.
