A president can propose new legislation and influence pending legislation. Remember that the AWB only passed by one vote after Bill Clinton arm twisted several Congressmen to change their vote.
A President also selects who he wants for appointment as Federal judges that will rule on the Constitutionality of the laws enacted. These are lifetime appointments that can have effects many years into the future.

Very much so. Remember that the current Speaker of the House and Majority Leader represents the district of San Francisco, a city that attempted to ban all private possession of handguns.
