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.

for purposes of determining which types, makes, or 
models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The
