No, it actually doesn't.
Well, it doesn't mean the Colt 6920 and 6940 models you can get at Wal-Mart.
No select fire feature = not an assault rifle by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase. It is just a semi-automatic rifle with some functional and cosmetic similarites to an actual assault rifle.
Actual assault rifles are subject to NFA restrictions, as are short-barreled rifles and shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices, etc. Plus they are relatively fixed in number - no more can be manufactured and placed into commerce (exchanged between citizens) - although, obviously, the government can continue to contract and procure more for governmental use.

That said, we really shouldn't argue that a semi-auto 5.56 (or 7.62x39 AK or 6.8 SPC for that matter) AR-style rifle isn't an excellent instrument to kill people with. It's really what it's designed for, & it's why we (the gun crowd) like to have them. Well, plus they're cool.
