The Federal Trade Commission has been fairly clear about how the DNCR works, but let's review the skinny again.
The object of using the DNCR is to submit your own phone number to mark it off limits to cold sales callers, and ONLY sales callers, before they start mass-dialing the region covered within your area code. You cannot foolishly submit phone numbers used by your callers and expect that to change anything. It's foggy thinking like that which keeps fraudulent callers in business.
Those sales callers attempting to offer a product or service are also known as "telemarketers". Many other nuisance callers are not defined as telemarketers and are therefore not covered by the DNCR, unless they try to help sell something. These include debt collectors, charity fundraisers, surveyors, and non-commercial announcements. Never confuse "telemarketer" with "caller I don't personally like"; the law will not be on your side when you complain in the wrong direction.
National Do Not Call Registry Q&A (FTC)
When a sales caller ignores your DNC registration, you must tell that caller to stop to preserve all of your rights, including your ability to sue for the highest damages per the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. For all other call categories it is your job to tell your caller to stop and look elsewhere for relief if it refuses.

The only joke here is on the disturbingly large number of Americans who have tried to use the Do Not Call Registry without bothering to comprehend what it's meant to do, then blame "da gubmint" because the Registry cannot perform feats of magic.
The most you've done with your backward use of the DNCR is try to prevent sales callers from disturbing the caller you're complaining about. That probably won't work anyway since your unwanted caller is likely a business. It's not your job or place to register phone numbers which you do not control.
The instruction above asks you to "help identify" your callers. You did not name your caller or describe what it wants, therefore we cannot rely on your "Telemarketer" tag or vague reference to "every scammer". It is not a given that the DNCR would apply even if you've used it correctly.
No Federal law prohibits any type of phone call in the early evening on a Sunday. There isn't much for state "blue laws" on the matter, either.
If you really want the noise to stop, you must change your current habit of angry guesswork and work with, not against, the laws and mechanisms set in place to help you.
Also, the DNC only works with companies that are legit and will check the #'s against the list. With VOIP almost every number can be spoofed. I even got a call from my own number. The DNC is not a magic bean that will block all calls you don't want. Just doesn't work that way....
