WASHINGTON - -(Ammoland.com)- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) today released firearms trace data for all individual states and territories for calendar year 2012.
The 2012 report includes first time released demographics data which
includes a state–by–state breakdown of crime guns recovered and traced,
age ranges of firearm possessor at the time of recovery, the type and
caliber of firearms, and the criminal offense associated with the crime
gun.
Firearms tracing provides information on the movement of a firearm
from its first sale by a manufacturer or importer through the
distribution chain in an attempt to identify the first retail purchaser.
A firearms trace is typically conducted when a law enforcement agency
recovers a firearm at a crime scene and needs to know the origin of that
firearm in order to develop investigative leads. Trace information can
link a suspect to a firearm in a criminal investigation, identify
potential traffickers, and detect in–state, interstate and international
patterns in the sources and types of crime guns.
