While you are at it, provide a citation for your claim that gangland shootings over alcohol sales continue to this day.

I won’t, because I made no such assertion. However, I can easily site mafia killing after 1933. Here’s a few:

“Bugsy” Siegel June 20, 1947

Albert Anastasia October 25, 1957

Joseph Colombo June 28, 1971

Joey Gallo April 7, 1972

Jimmy Hoffa July 30, 1975

Carmine Galante July 12, 1979

Paul “Big Paulie” Castellano December 16, 1985

Nicholas Guido December 25, 1986

Fred Weiss September 11, 1989

Anthony DiLapi February 4, 1990

Nicholas “Nicky Black” Grancio January 7, 1992

Then there were the two Sicilian Mafia wars in the 1960s and 1980s. The most lucrative racket for them in the 1970s was cigarette smuggling, not drugs.
