There is no legal definition of "assault rifle". If you mean an AR15 style rifle, then it depends on the rifle, and what you are hunting.

An AR15 firing .223/ 5.56mm can be used for small game. For big game, the rifle may not be capable of holding more than 6 rds of ammo, and must be .24 caliber or larger, with 1000 ft lbs of energy at 100 yards. The AR15 in .223 will not meet those standards. A larger AR, such as the AR10, could meet them. No fully automatic firearms may be used for hunting.

How come hunting guns are allowed in homes when assault rifles are not?

It depends on what you mean. Most people use the term assault rifle incorrectly. If you mean an AR-15, that is not an assault rifle. That is a semi-automatic magazine fed rifle, or, in current terms, a modern sporting rifle. AR-15 rifles are legal in every state in the U.S. as far as I know. Real assault rifles are legal in most but not all states, under certain restrictions.

Is the Plinker Plus AR-15 a good assault rifle?

An assault rifle is defined by the US State Dept and Dept of Defense as a "lightweight, select-fire rifle firing light to intermediate power rounds". The term "select-fire" means the rifle can fire EITHER semi-automatic or full automatic by the use of a selector (usually a switch). Since a TRUE assault rifle can fire full-auto, they are heavily regualted by the 1934 National Fireamrs Act. The Plinker Plus AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle, so the answer to your question is NO. If, however, you are looking for a basic entry level model semi-automatic rifle that bears a resemblence to the M16, you could do worse.
