Senate Republicans Sneak Pro-Gun Nonsense into Spending Bill

Goddamn these people are shameless:

A bipartisan Senate bill preventing a federal shutdown would make four long-standing gun protections permanent, including one preventing the Justice Department from requiring firearms dealers to conduct inventories to make sure weapons haven’t been stolen, congressional aides from both parties said.

Another provision made permanent would prevent the government from changing the definition of antique guns, which can sometimes be easier to obtain than modern weapons. Two others would block the department from denying a license to firearms dealers who report no business activity, and require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to include language in firearms data stating that the information can’t be used to make conclusions about gun crimes.

There’s a law that says the DOJ can’t force gun dealers to engage in theft prevention? By the way, how does this have anything to do with the 2nd Amendment? Of course the spending bill will pass with this awfulness intact, that is unless someone gets the crapola yanked out asap.
