They knew they did not have the votes. They want it for the campaign trail.
If Reid were running the show, a bill the Repubs wanted would never have seen the light of day.

DIMs/LIBs want to take away your inalienable right to be armed. You and your family members still have a fighting chance against the moozlum terrorists and the terrorists in our government.

A divided Senate rejects gun curbs, despite Orlando massacre
UPDATE: The Senate has voted to stop legislation that would have closed the gun show loophole and expanded background checks.
The measure was sponsored by Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who waged a nearly 15-hour filibuster last week to push for votes after the massacre in Orlando, Florida. The vote Monday was 44-56. It fell 16 short of the 60 necessary for the Senate to move ahead on the legislation.

Anyone who has done even the slightest bit of historical reading on Prohibition or the War on Drugs or the War on Anything would know that someone who wants a product and will pay to get it, will get it. That cannot be stopped. Laws only work for the law abiding, not the non-law abiding.

"The Senate will still vote on a measure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to keep people on a government terrorism watch list or other suspected terrorists from buying guns. The Justice Department has endorsed her legislation."
That one would prevent due process, would included chances of errors being made and might be abused to hurt innocent people. It must be stopped.
For example, what if an innocent person were being immediately threatened with deadly harm by dangerous animal predators or nearby violent criminals and wanted a weapon for self-defense or defense of the lives of children in the household? To prevent them from defending themselves or their loved ones would be murderous.

The DemocRATs are merely going through political motions in order to generate campaign ads for “blue” states and districts. The DemocRATs are clowns.

You have stated it very well, and that is the entire point. The elitists DO want to thin the population of those who are the righteous patriotic citizens. That is why they are flooding the borders with people who DESIRE to kill us. It IS the policy of those who have their hands on the levers of power right now, unfortunately. They do not care about you nor your children. If we are eaten by beasts of any legged variety, it is all well and good to them.
