(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
