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.

I don’t know enough about CC to know his stance on the 2A, but since this activist couldn’t come up with anything to substantiate Christie’s alleged anti-gun mentality, I’ll have to assume he respects the Constitution.
A Second Amendment stalwart is a big plus in my book.
Keep it up, Fat Tony.
Challenge accepted.
See post #4.
Thanks smokingfrog.
See post # 4, NJFatBoy has been anti-2A for his entire career. NJ’s gun laws are among the worst in the country.
OK Chrissy,
He’s just gotten more coy about his gun control views since he decided to run for potus.
He better tone it down a bit if he expects to get the nomination /s>
But the governor completely axed a bill that would ban the Barrett .50 caliber rifle(A3659), which is the most powerful weapon commonly available to civilians. Christie had called for a ban on future sales of the weapon in his own package of violent prevention measures outlined in April.

Ask Shaneen Allen.
Chris Gun-Grabber Christie pardoned her only just this spring as he realized he was going to run for President...
The governor said in a press release that the 10 bills that he did sign are consistent with the plan he released in April to address gun safety.
These commonsense measures will both strengthen New Jerseys already tough gun laws and upgrade penalties for those who commit gun crimes and violate gun-trafficking laws, he said. As elected leaders, our first duty is to maintain public safety, and these new laws will help reduce gun violence and keep our streets and communities safer.
Overall, the Legislature has sent 15 gun-related bills to the governors desk, with the governor signing a total of 11 into law. Three await action — along with the .50-caliber ban and the enhanced ID, Christie has yet to take action on the creation of a state task force on school security.
Chris, Lindsey and Jeb are wasting their time and if any are ever nominated there will be far more than 4M conservatives that do not show up to vote this time.
Would be nice to see 20 people show up at an Alegent of his with that on large placards
