Many of them are, over here we call them "Hell's Accountants". The mid life crisis "I wanna be a bad ass" demographic.

But we also have the actual gunfighting bikers that they're cosplaying as, and the cops and media love talking it up every time they get into a brawl with each other, so it's a common enough fear for people that still take main stream media as gospel...
