The Andy Griffith rebuttal? What a joke that was. He's comparing 1960 Mayberry to 2018 America. It ain't nowhere near the fricking same. That whole bit was dumb as hell.

So yeah, let's disarm all our police officers and let them police by gaining the respect of the criminals they are trying to detain. People will applaud Oliver. People are fricking dumb.

That really was one of the dumbest things I've seen in a while.

Even comparing 1960 Mayberry to 1960 America would be dumb as hell.

John Oliver calls BS, but just doesn’t seem to call BS on the fact that despite us having kids with guns in their cars and trucks at school all the time, we just didn’t have these school shootings. Why is that?


BTW, Mayberry was a fictitious town in a make believe world and not a very good example to pull from. Just stick to real world facts in the future sir. The Liberals don’t have any answers for that. You play right into their hands when you point to make believe, because that’s what they do best.

At least Andy Griffith would've pulled out his peacemaker and plugged Cruz full of holes

Yeah, let’s see that speech in 2018 Chicago:

“The reason I carry a gun is my cracker arse don’t want to die.”

Andy Taylor no (man he could get some trim) John Oliver yes. I hate these foreigners coming over here telling us how to run our country. Go back home to your own f-up country

Yep, 1960 Mayberry was closer to 1960 Sweden. Homogeneous and basically crime free.

I don’t remember blacks in Mayberry either. A southern town in the middle of North Carolina and not a black to be seen?

If there's one show that really illustrates the current interplay of 24 hour news, social media, and violence, it's Andy Griffith.

Oliver misses a very big point: The fictional Andy Taylor had the RIGHT and the CHOICE to be armed or unarmed. He was explaining his personal choice in the clip.

They had one. The football coach. Tried to get Opie to play football when Aunt Bee wanted him to take piano lessons instead.

Mayberry was just a much safer place.

A 20 something year old Barbra Eden was a guest on the Andy Griffith show. It's a crime that Instagram wasn't around for her prime. She would have given us a show.

Basically crime free? So I guess you don’t think jaywalking is a crime. How about illegal parking? It’s this attitude that frustrated Barney so much. Barney and his one bullet out there facing off with these types of monsters day in and day out and Andy doesn’t carry because of “respect”. “Basically crime free”, get a load of this guy.

Don't forget the bootleggers who lived in the hills, and the occasional grifters on other undesirables who wandered in to town from time-to-time. Either way, Aunt Bea made one Hell of a pot roast.

he was talking in rebuttal to a congressman who had mentioned returning America to the days of the Andy Griffin show.
