103
HR 2799 RH 
arms traces for any reason, and those reasons are 
not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. 
Not all firearms used in crime are traced and not all 
firearms traced are used in crime. 
‘‘(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not cho-
sen 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 crimi-
nals, or any subset of that universe. Firearms are 
normally traced to the first retail seller, and sources 
reported for firearms traced do not necessarily rep-
resent the sources or methods by which firearms in 
general are acquired for use in crime.’’.
