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.
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.

To call an AR-15 an "assault rifle" or "assault weapon" is disingenuous at best.
It paints whoever uses that weapon in a corner as if they are going to be assaulting people with it.
And honestly that's just bullshite.
