Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) at all levels submit requests to ATF to trace guns used in crimes. So that ATF may swiftly and accurately provide responsive information on these crime guns, ATF requests LEAs to submit certain information on Form 3312.1 that will aid ATF in tracing the firearm. ATF reports the resulting information only to the requesting LEA and does not create a registry of firearms in the process.
