4 Explosives shall include in all such data releases, language 

5 similar to the following that would make clear that trace 

6 data cannot be used to draw broad conclusions about fire7 arms-related crime: 

8 (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law 

9 enforcement authorities in conducting investigations 

10 by tracking the sale and possession of specific fire11 arms. Law enforcement agencies may request fire12 arms traces for any reason, and those reasons are 

13 not necessarily reported to the Federal Government.

15 firearms traced are used in crime.

17 for purposes of determining which types, makes or 

18 models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The 

19 firearms selected do not constitute a random sample 

20 and should not be considered representative of the 

21 larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or 

22 any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 

23 traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported

3 are used in crime. 

4 (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen 

5 for purposes of determining which types, makes or 

6 models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The 

7 firearms selected do not constitute a random sample 

8 and should not be considered representative of the 

9 larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or 

10 any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 

11 traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported 

12 for firearms traced do not necessarily represent the 

13 sources or methods by which firearms in general are 

14 acquired for use in crime.
