He's no friend, that's for sure, but I think they are overselling for clicks.

Obama has said that his biggest frustration was not getting anything done on gun control. It seems reasonable that finding a solid anti-gun candidate that Republicans would find politically difficult to reject would be high on the list.

He has a record of siding with the government on environmental regulations and accepting challenges to industry from environmental groups.

I suspect that some digging would find connections to the climate exchange cabal in chicago, so he's probably being nominated more for enriching the boutique electricity people rather than as a foe for 2A rights.
Always follow the money
Clinton and Obama are both anti freedom. They both approve of this guy. What more do we need here?

The Potential Nomination of Merrick Garland : SCOTUSblog
Don't believe the NRA hype. They are absolutely being alarmist about this. Garland has no 2A track record, really.
