SEC. 620. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bu-
reau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are re-
HR 2862 RS 
leased without adequate disclaimers regarding the limita-
tions of the data. 
(b) 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 fire-
arms-related crime: 
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law 
enforcement authorities in conducting investigations 
by tracking the sale and possession of specific fire-
arms. Law enforcement agencies may request fire-
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 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
HR 2862 RS 
sources or methods by which firearms in general are 
acquired for use in crime.
