Wow, you have such a depressing take on human existence.

I don’t see people getting weapons and taking over people in the streets, do you?

It's not depressing at all! It's actually just part of natural selection. We, as living beings, will compete for resources. This is why us humans are as dominant as we are on this planet, and why we will continue to spread as far as we can. If we were not like this, our species would have never made it to modern homo sapiens and would have died out tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago

That's because we've built some very large hills to prevent this - notably powerful governments with militaries and police forces. Lack of hills is essentially anarchy, where all of a sudden the strongest now become the ruler

Because the cops or (worse case) the military will step in and stomp on them.

In this context, good luck showing how they are anything but particularly well armed and organized gangs.

Why not? Lots of countries have gang problems, including the US. Countries are just the same issue, scaled up.
