He is buying time and compromise. The dems have both houses and POTUS they already said they will bust the filibuster using the Henry Reid rule so they have the votes in both houses even if one dems defects heels up breaks the tie. With a couple of GOPe they get political cover and the GOPe gets a watered down bill. Reagan did this in 1986 he was facing a veto proof majority so he signed NFA 86 to save handguns the real target of that bill.

I looked for any news about that and the Henry Reid filibuster-buster. None was out there.

I did see this:

Senate gun law negotiators working toward a deal by the end of the week... Negotiators have narrowed their talks to a slim set of proposals to address school safety and set standards for safe gun storage while providing some federal support for mental health programs and incentives for states to create so-called red flag laws to remove guns from potentially dangerous owners. The talks also included some possible expansions to federal background checks for younger people seeking to buy guns.
