Shooting at someone is not making your bones. That means Gigante never killed anyone, and neither did most of the Genovese leadership. I don't remember Luciano, Torrio, Gotti, Paul Vario or Matty Ianniello killing anyone either. All these mafia bosses never killed anyone. They just became feared bosses.
