What exactly is a "people punching gun" ?
Could you list some examples of type, models and caliber that were designed as "people punchers " ?
An AR-15/M-16 is chambered for a cartridge that was designed and intended to be used for shooting ground hogs and other varmints not people.
I'm guessing that this is some sort of unbelievably lame effort to try to define a new class of “bad” firearms to push for having banned. Previous efforts at defining and banning “Niggertown Saturday Night Specials”, “junk guns”, and now “assault weapons” have largely failed. The public has come to see through these terms, and to realize the deception on which they are based.
I think the OP hasn't really thought through what it is he's trying to do, but I think he's imagining that if he can create a new term, “People-Punching Guns”, he can get some of the public to be convinced that guns described by this term should be banned, or at least severely restricted. I don't think he's gone as far ahead as trying to define which guns fall into this category, or which criteria would be used to define it.
