SEC. 621. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released without 
adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations 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 firearms-related crime: 
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
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.
H. R. 2862—53
(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 sources or methods 
by which firearms in general are acquired for use in crime.

be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the use of
