Comment: While there are small time bootleggers in places without bars or liquor stores in poor black communities, the end of alcohol prohibition ended violent gangs who based their existence on alcohol prohibition.  End drug prohibition and violence goes away.  Legalize prostitution and pimps go away.  Legalize abortion and back alley operators go away.  Lower cigarette taxes and smugglers go away.  Respect the principle of unanimity in legislating morality and you don't need a police state (assuming you quit using the state and landlords to keep blacks and hispanics in their place).
