"people" / "person"...there is a subtle difference.

The fact of the matter is that many types of guns a designed for the sole purpose of killing human beings. Handguns in particular fall into this category. Rifles to hunt with are one thing, but tech 9 machine pistols are another.

Exactly, and guns designed to kill people are especially in keeping with the rationale of 2nd Amendment. Defending your self, country or liberty, is best done with weapons designed for killing people not woodchucks.

how are special purpose people killers needed when a rifle could defend liberty all the same????

Why is a steak knife better than a butter knife for certain purposes? The purpose of a weapon with which one defends liberty, is to thwart those who would usurp that liberty by force. Hence an "anti-person" gun is a much better tool for the purpose. Moreover, if they have the better anti-personnel guns, and you have only light hunting arms, you are at a severe disadvantage.
