There should be recourse so that when rulings by the Supreme Court are ignored by government entities, these types of measures could be struck down almost overnight, and those who conspired to circumvent the laws could be incarcerated.

The trigger lock problem is one the SCOTUS addressed directly. (At least I believe they did.) W.,D.C. has ignored the Supreme Court's ruling with regard to that, blatantly.

Isn't there some way to get this to an appellate court right away.

If this takes years to be remedied, what justice is there in that?

"There should be recourse so that when rulings by the Supreme Court are ignored by government entities, these types of measures could be struck down almost overnight, and those who conspired to circumvent the laws could be incarcerated."

We do indeed have such a solution available to us! Have you considered joining the vigilance committee?

If joining the committee is not what you prefer, perhaps you might perfer to think along the lines of article VI of the United States Constitution which states;

"...This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. ..."This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding...."

From the wording of paragraph 2 of section VI, two things are easily discernible.

any enactment which is not made in pursuance of the Constitution is not a law at all, and is void.
It is the constitution itself, and not judges or anybody else which makes it void.

The choice is ours, either we press our representatives to obey the law they have sworn to uphold, or, we implement some form of vigilantism to do the job we elected them to do.
