Getting a law removed is harder than getting one passed , no matter how rediculous or unnecessary it is. Because this would be ,to a politician , like admitting that you were wrong . Heaven forbid a politician ever admit to anything .

Down here in my state , we defeated speed limit laws last year. Some influential "money" person moved to waterfront property and when spring came decided they didn't like the noise . They pulled some strings and got a bill introduced to have speed limits on the entire ICW from Manasquan to Cape May AND all other inland tidal waters in the state
The opposition presented documented facts and figures calmly and logically while the Pro people acted just as a bunch on here are doing , with partial truths and scare tactics.
The powers that be , ruled in favor of NO Speed Limit and gave the guy who started the whole contoversy his very own NWZ in front of his house. Perhaps that's what some of you need.
