Years ago, I worked as a policy analyst for our state senate. One bill before the committee was to allow power driven fishing reels so disabled people could fish.

A local animal rights group testified against the bill saying it gave the fishermen an unfair advantage.

The bill never got out of committee!(killed by Dems, I will add).

To allow them? It's a pretty sad state of affairs that we now have to propose bills for allowing things. All that is not explicitly forbidden by the law ought to be permitted ... at least that's how it works in a truly free country.
