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.
