These types of cases have already been decided in DC vs Heller. Who is it that is going to enforce the law? DOJ needs to go after these judges and states for violating our civil rights.

Actually, Scalia, in his opinion in Heller, left open the means for precisely this kind of ban. I always wished that Thomas had written for the majority, I think it would have been a better decision.

"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms." (emphasis mine)
