Holly Sullivan, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, said the governor’s news conference included many inaccuracies, including officials’ description of .22-caliber rimfire rifles, which she said cannot fire larger ammunition that would qualify them as assault weapons.

Centerfire ammunition is taxed at $0.05 per cartridge, and rimfire ammunition is taxed at $0.01 per cartridge.

The use of rimfire and centerfire weapons is prohibited at Gifford.
