the data. 
(b) For fiscal year 2013 and thereafter, the Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall include 
in all such data releases, language similar to the following 
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to 
draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime: 
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law en-
forcement authorities in conducting investigations by 
tracking the sale and possession of specific firearms. 
Law enforcement agencies may request firearms 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 chosen 
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 
for firearms traced do not necessarily represent the
