Your crime problem, like most crime problems anywhere involves socio-economic disparity.
That is correct, and we have on the same level as Mexico. I might be underestimating the civics education of the average drug dealer or gangster, but I doubt by much.
What I mean by paranoia is the idea that you're better protected with multiple weapons than you are with one, or that a six shooter is not enough, you need a semi-auto handgun or semi-auto rifle to really be protected.
You are projecting and making false assumptions. FWIW, the popularity of semi auto pistols in the US is fairly recent. I remember when semi autos were more Canadian and European while revolvers were US.

There is a history of these SLAP suits before the legislation you reference.
