The govt RFP mentions that the rifles should be "select fire."  Is this a solicitation for m4 military carbines?
District of Columbia v. Heller (US 07-290, 2008)  "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia."  McDonald v. Chicago (US 08-1521, 2010) "[T]he Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms [is] fully applicable to the states"

Well, that usually means a "fun switch", so, yes.

The action shall be select-fire (capable of semi-automatic and automatic fire). "

It is technically a "DHS 5.56x45mm personal defense weapon".  So it is not an AR or M4 assault rifle.  Small change in words makes us all feel warm and fuzzy.
