Assault rifles have selective fire (i.e. they can fire multiple bullets with each pull of the trigger). An AR15 is semi-automatic, which means only one bullet for each pull of the trigger.

Assault weapons are light weight short barrelled rifles designed to be used in close quarters. That's it.
Assault weapon != assault rifle. Former is a generic term w/o commonly agreed definition, latter is a rifle with the characteristics the GP listed, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle
Is there anything in the definition of assault weapon that has to do with a shorter barrel though? I'm genuinely curious where this person came to the conclusion that it was relevant.

That is a carbine. Actual assault rifles have selective fire and are heavily regulated.
You spouting politically motivated revisionism here. You can do that but I'm not signing up.
