Yes, you can use assault firearms for hunting and for personal self-defense, but that is not what they were designed for. I’m not suggesting that assault weapons should be banned, but restrictions on who can own these weapons and where they could be carried might not be a bad idea.
Good thing no one uses an assault firearm for hunting... And I can't find a single instance where one was used in self defense, either...

Now AR-15s, otoh, are used to hunt quite often and have been in self defense many times...

Here's an ad for the AR-15 from the early 60's...
