This song is about American gangster Al Capone.

Definitely, the inspiration are from Al Capone. Apparently he was in Al Capone's hideout record some music and those poor ghost victim just haunt the band during the whole session. Dave was scared obviously and write down those experience and turn into the music and lyrics.

On second interpretation it's about Gun control, policy and criticism.
