CDC Is Building A Gun Injury 'Surveillance' Program At Hospital Emergency Rooms

Last Updated on September 30, 2021

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is surveilling America by launching a “Funded Surveillance” program called “Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms (FASTER).”

This is a highly concerning development for gun owners, considering the federal government’s well-known desire to push gun control measures, monitor gun owners, and generally attack the Second Amendment in the United States. Now, the CDC is paying for states to “provide surveillance data in near-real time” on firearm injuries in emergency rooms.

The CDC states: “CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention is funding 10 state health departments (up to $225,000 per recipient) as part of a competitively funded initiative to provide surveillance data in near-real time on emergency visits for nonfatal firearm injuries. CDC awarded a total of $2,224,482 distributed among the 10 recipients. Recipients will be funded for 3 years (09/01/2020-08/31/2023).” The CDC’s “Recipients” include:

District of Columbia Department of Health
Florida Department of Health
Georgia Department of Public Health
New Mexico Department of Health
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services
Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division
Utah Department of Health
Virginia Department of Health
Washington State Department of Health
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources

The CDC states: “Timely state- and local-level data on emergency department visits for nonfatal firearm injuries are currently limited. The collection of near-real-time data on emergency department visits for nonfatal firearm injuries overall and by intent (intentional self-directed, unintentional, and assault-related) can support state and local jurisdictions in identifying and responding to emerging public health problems. Efforts under this initiative will also result in tools and methods that can be used by state and local health departments around the nation to rapidly track and respond to firearm injuries.”
