21 similar to the following that would make clear that trace

7 (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen 

8 for purposes of determining which types, makes or 

9 models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The 

10 firearms selected do not constitute a random sample 

11 and should not be considered representative of the 

12 larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or 

13 any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 

14 traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported
