A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Doesnt switzerland have a shitonne of guns?

It looks like that because Switzerland has mandatory military service and after that people keep their service rifle at home (without ammunition). But it's not at all comperable to the gun situation in America.

Actually thats the funny and really sad thing. America has guns as they copied the swiss system of an armed militia then kept the guns and abolished the militia creating the basket case they have now with a shitonne of guns and not enough people trained to be safe with them.

Half the white people: Yee haw, I'm gonna shoot some minorities! I'm in a militia!

Other half of white people: Don't worry, the police will protect you. No ~~militias~~ gangs allowed!
