A small pizzeria in Virginia Beach, Virginia has been garnering lots of media attention for offering a discount to all patrons carrying a firearm or with a concealed handgun permit. Even with all the pressure for the owner to speak publicly Jay Laze has remained aloof till this past Tuesday night when he granted an interview to Piers Morgan of CNN.
Laze’s reward for giving in to the requests and taking his Second Amendment rights before the hard left-wing audience was complete disrespect from the radical liberal Morgan.
Tuesday on the program once known as fair when hosted by Larry King, Piers Morgan told the restaurant owner that he hopes the promotion "fails spectacularly."
Morgan was disrespectful towards Laze; a man he’d previously called an idiot. Incapable of understand a man wishing to make a statement about gun-owner’s rights, Morgan asked Laze whether the promotion is meant to "perk up your profits nicely?"
"And that's why you're doing it, right?" Morgan asked.
Laze acknowledged that he is trying to make money for his business: "How it's supposed to work is, I can save money, then I can use it later in life to support me."
Apparently Morgan doesn’t understand that the objective of businesses, at least here in the US, is to make a profit.
"Your failure to make money has nothing to do with your liberty," Morgan responded.
"That's right," Laze agreed.
The 15 percent discount has been offered since the middle of February Laze told The Virginia Pilot and that he got the idea from an ice cream shop in Utah. Laze was taken by surprise by all the national media attention.
Laze will continue to offer the promotion though he said he isn't likely to do many more TV interviews given the disrespectful and asinine treatment he got from Piers Morgan. Laze also didn't consider his experience on Morgan's show to be worthwhile because much of the interview was cut by CNN limiting his ability to express his views.
Not much of a surprise given the left-wing media's standard modis operandi is to squelch any opinion that runs in opposition to their own.
