What an assault weapon is has been defined. Killing things other than humans with an assault weapon does not alter that weapon into a hunting rifle.
You are wrong (and possibly delusional).

.223 AR type assault weapon
Those are the words of the State Police Lieutenant doing the presser.

Man with assault rifle shot dead by police after Alabama triple murder
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Reuters) - A man armed with an assault-style rifle and suspected of killing three men in a domestic dispute was shot dead by police after a car chase and shootout that left an officer wounded, marking a second incident of deadly gun violence in Alabama in two days, officials said on Sunday.
The two shootings on Saturday in Alabama came a day after 20 children and six adults were shot to death by a gunman who went on a rampage with a military-style rifle at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut and then killed himself.
