Fast AND Furious was O'blabla's first and last attempt at cloak and dagger opps, thankfully. He got a bloody nose for his efforts. He excelled at Arab Springs, sowing discontent throughout the Near East. Hard as he tried, he was not able to get anything like that going here. Americans, on the whole, were far to cynical for his ham-handed attempts.Obama's 2A achievements are mostly based in what he didn't do. He didn't get to ban firearms, though he would have if he thought it was possible. But the threat was enough.
One positive effect he had was flooding America with evil black rifles. Everyone was certain that he'd find a way to ban them, so they purchased enough of them to underscore their being "in common use." This will be helpful in the courts.
Another achievement was his "Fast and Furious" drug cartel gunrunning program. Evil on the face of it, and clearly designed as a tool to generate anti-2A sentiment and legislation, on exposure it blew up in his face, helping to cement the realisation that, yes, Virginia, we are coming for your guns.
Don't forget the way he poured gasoline onto the Zimmerman and Ferguson situations. More reasons to take up arms due to civil unrest. Many of the first-time gun buyers are on the Left of the spectrum, and bright enough to realise that they might inadvertently be harmed by the conditions their leaders foment.
Encouraging the media presence of race-baiters has also helped pro-2A sentiments, brought to fruition by the recent and continuing bouts of unrest. His administration was all about race-baiting, though it certainly didn't have to be. He could have been a huge force for civility. However, that's not what he is about.
