A common defining characteristic in most if not all "assault weapon" ban bills is this: "A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon."
Imagine if you built an AR15 with everything except for the buttstock and optic rotated 90 degrees. That would mean the pistol grip would not be protruding beneath the action. Assuming your rifle didn't have any of the other defining characteristics it should not be subject to the ban, correct? Some people have 45 degree offset back up sights on their rifles and shoot it that way when not using top mounted optic, my idea is to just rotate the rifle another 45 degrees and have the buttstock and optic set up to shoot that way. I shoot left handed and would have the pistol grip pointed out to the left and the ejection port pointed at the ground. Right hand shooters might have to do the opposite and have the ejection port pointed to the sky which could present some problems with spent brass flying at you.
