The guy is either a politician or he works for one.  When the public hears

"experimental" or "home-built", they hear "death trap" because the public
at 
large has an irrational fear of aviation to begin with.  Also you have the

fact that the public at large perceives no impact to themselves by banning

such operations.  Relatively small changes could be made to driving laws
and 
100 times more lives would be saved, but that would impact the public at 
large so that ain't gonna happen.  Nobody wants to give up their "right"
to 
drive with a cell phone, ignore speed limits, run stop lights, etc. even 
though such activity puts other people at risk.
