Are you really from planet Earth? I know for a fact they have 'em in Canada 
More than one person involved in a criminal conspiracy is one definition of a "gang", but in generally it's a few people....almost always delinquent minors or young adults....who "own" a few blocks around their neighborhood and most often handle the drug distribution in that area. In studies the age distrubution in urban gangs is as follows;
* 21 percent under age 15
* 45 percent ages 15-17
* 28 percent ages 18-24
* 5 percent over age 24
But in real life a "gang" can also include organized crime groups as well as youth gangs, but there is a lot of crossover since the larger more organized groups (drug cartels, Mafia, Hells Angels etc.) use the street gangs as their drug distribution networks.
To show you how pervasive this can end up; back in the 1980's perhaps the most active Detroit drug gang was called "Young Boys, Incorporated", run by a punk called "White Boy Rick". His girlfriend was the niece of then Detroit Mayor Coleman Young

Close associates, relatives and Young's hand-picked police chief were indicted and many went to jail. His finances were scrutinized and his own residence was bugged.
Even though Young was never a defendant, municipal and police corruption trials cast an unfavorable light on his administration and personal affairs.
The 1992 trial of Police Chief William Hart for embezzling $2.3 million revealed that while the city was scrambling for money and police officers to fight drugs, thousands of dollars and entire top-flight investigative crews were diverted to protect the mayor's niece as she romped with a teenage dope lord, Richard (White Boy Rick) Wersche.

I have shot a few of those guns you mention above. I have used the Remington 1100 for hunting on many occasions. When I was shotgun shopping I didn't have enough money for the 110 so I settled for the 870 instead. I am glad I bought it though, it is really fun to shoot. I use it mostly for quail hunting.
.. but for self defence in most cases my hands would do the trick
