(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

for purposes of determining which types, makes or
models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The
firearms selected do not constitute a random sample
and should not be considered representative of the
larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or
any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally
traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported
