You do realize that people of Japanese ancestry were imprisoned for having Japanese Ancestry here in the U.S. during WWII. In other words, it is something that actually happened.

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000[5] people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast. 62 percent of the internees were United States citizens. These actions were ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.[8]

If you want to change the law and outlaw guns then you need to amend the constitution. There is a process for that. People don't want to use the process because it is much easier to just usurp someone's rights then it is to use the system as it was deigned to be used.
