Given that the real insurrectionists are in charge and want to take away americans gun rights because they're terrified of being brought to justice... yes the title is correct.
If memory serves, Democrats have already tried using various lawsuits to disqualify people like Josh Hawley and Marjorie Taylor Greene from holding office on the grounds of being “insurrectionists.”
For a while now I've suspected this is their ulterior motive behind all this: to redefine what qualifies as insurrection and sedition in order to remove political opponents at a critical point in time. Imagine, if you will, that they took this to an extreme and had the most stubborn half of the conservative Representatives and Senators removed, leaving them with 2 thirds -- a supermajority, meaning they could do just about anything they wanted.
The OP? Not particularly. It is entirely unsurprising Raskin says that. He's a liberal Democrat. Hunter Wallace says nothing of real interest. People that believe in gun rights on a liberal theory of a right of revolution are on the right track but not exactly deep thinkers. Anything requiring that is going to mean disarming opponents on the battlefield. Where does the Second Amendment lie then?
The constitution is a weapon to be used. I'm post-constitutional in principle though. David French said the alt-right is post-constitutional and I think he is correct in that assessment. One should not believe in the liberal system.
Most of the search engines appear to be cucked when it comes to being able to search up David French and the term "post-constitutional".
Any chance you have direct links on the topic? If I'm understanding the term correctly it gives name to some things I've thought/felt for a while. I'd like to see what others have to say.
I don't have the article where French said that offhand. Obviously French is hostile to the alt-right - but I think he is on the money there. Opinion ranges from flirting with dictatorship to other extra-constitutional ideas.
Generally to speak of a post-constitutional state I think is to take strict constructionists like Ron Paul at face value and believe the constitution is ignored and should be followed. The alt-right position is more that it is ignored, or maybe its meaning can't even be determined with any objectivity, and as it is ignored anyway we should keep ignoring it and eventually replace it with a new system and even a new country. Post-constitionalism in this framework is just one component of the rejection of the US as a state; viewing it as a failed state not conducive to white interests.
Just briefly looking up post-constitutional in search I see people like Mark Levin coming up. Also an old Salon article.

Basically gun rights are going to be abridged as counterterrorism measures.
High capacity mag bans - stop white nationalists from shooting up an outdoor Cinco de Mayo festival.
Red flag laws - stop white nationalists from opening up on whoever.
