>There's no controversy in having drugs, guns, alcohol, porn and other things 'behind the counter'

There is controversy! My grandfather and his schoolmates all regularly brought hunting rifles on their trips to the schoolhouse and home (1930s), to hunt opportune meals. There was never any problem with school shootings, which IMO are likely the fault of the prison-authoritarian style that schools morphed into during the latter-half of the 20th century. He had me drink shots with him when I was under 10 years old, because he wanted to make sure I knew drinking was ultimately a boring, uninteresting, stupid activity. Alcohol was always available and I was even welcome to partake anytime (as long as I did it at home)... I hardly ever touched the stuff, and still don't even now. He was a police officer and firearms instructor in a big midwest town, he even taught me how to shoot around that age. He taught me that government is neither god nor good, it is just raw power that has to steal from someone to give to another.

I miss my grandfather so much!

Also, thank goodness my folks were computer illiterate; I never had issues with blocking software (though I would probably have defeated any... easily). I grew up looking at porn and gore occasionally from my very early teens. Maybe try teaching your children about the world instead of hiding them away from it?
