According to our chief of police, he had two weapons. A "pistol grip"
shotgun and an "assault rifle."

A "pistol grip" is a choice by the shooter which enables the ability to
bring your arm down tighter to the body to better control the weapon.

What is the definition of an "assualt rifle?"

You would need to ask our Chief of Police what he had in mind when he
used the term.

My guess is that anything with a 30 round magazine is considered an
assault weapon.

So, a BB gun with a tubular magazine that can hold 40 or 50 projectiles is
an assualt weapon?

I'm sure they come in real handy when stalking deer.

Depends upon whether you just want to wound the deer or ensure the deer is
killed.

I don't really give a damn how many rounds someone carries in one magazine.
But, I know a family of real hunters. Grandfather, three sons, 4 grandkids.
None of them carry rifles whose mags hold more than 3-5 rounds, and they
usually need just two shots to do the job. I suppose these people are
unusually skilled, though. Maybe.

Around 1972, I was having lunch at the Roscoe Diner, on route 17 in the
Catskills, when one of a group of knucklehead hunters blew out the window of
a NY State trooper's car with his shotgun. The trooper just shook his head,
put down his coffee, looked at the waitress and said "They're back..." It
was the first day of hunting season, and all the beginners from NYC were in
the area.

Maybe those are the idiot hunters you're thinking of when you say 30 rounds
is handy to have. What the hell was the guy in the parking lot doing with
buckshot in the gun during deer season, when slugs are the correct load?
(Never mind that the gun shouldn't have been loaded to start with). Or, the
local guy who, last November, blew his kneecap to bits while loading his
dead deer into his pickup.

Purposeful ignorance doesn't get you anywhere Bertie. 30 rounds of
ammunition, wherein ANY SINGLE ROUND is enough to kill a human being
(for this is what those guns are designed to do) should be considered an
assault weapon.

Oh for ****'s sake Bertie. You need an AK to kill a deer, a moose, a
bear?

Aren't there far better weapons available for the purpose?

Just as I suspected, there is no legal definition of an assualt rifle.

Assault Rifle: A military rifle intended purely for one-man operation
and equipped to provide both semiautomatic or full-automatic fire by
means of a selector switch or other fire-control device. They are
chambered for an intermediate cartridge, have barrels under 20 inches,
make extensive use of plastics and stampings, use gas operation and
locked breeches, have magazine capacities of 20 to 30 rounds, weigh
from six to 10 pounds and are quite compact.

And used for KILLING PEOPLE.

"Should be" doesn't mean anything.

M60 would be my choice if I wanted to get the animal down and dead. I don't
want to have to track the critter through the woods.

Yes there are.
