“Heller is totally irrelevant because it has no teeth. What consequence is there to officials who ignore it? None.”

I do not believe this is true. Alan Gura has just filed another lawsuit in D.C., claiming that they violate the 2nd Amendment and Heller because they will not register guns because of their color, and won't register even the model of the gun that the Supreme Court ordered them to register for Heller, because they changed the law after the decision. DC will likely be required to pay all court costs and legal fees and punitive damages as well. This will probably be a couple of million dollars.

“DC will likely be required to pay all court costs and legal fees and punitive damages as well. This will probably be a couple of million dollars. “

The taxpayers will pay that. Until the officials themselves are required to pay something, or are punished in some way, they have no incentive to obey laws or decisions they don’t like.
