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.
            ``(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.''.
