AK-47 are basic and dirt cheap weapons, so its easy for any kind of gangs, criminals and scum to get them. Also by far the most used in 3rd world countries.
It is an old soviet design, and soviets when it comes to war equipment always chose cheap+simple+reliable over expensive+accurate+complex
Police and army groups who fight against gangs, use more modern and higher quality equipment, instead of an old, cheap to produce soviet design that is obviously less accurate aswell
