"I believe the No. 1 civil right is to be free from harm," Howard Safir says.
In order to do that in a civilized society, "we maybe have to give up a little bit of our privacy," he says.
The Las Vegas concert massacre is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Americans may need to give up some of their freedoms to protect against attacks such as Sunday night's Las Vegas concert massacre, said Howard Safir, former New York City police commissioner.
"Let me preface what I'm about to say, so the civil libertarians understand what I'm saying, I believe the No. 1 civil right is to be free from harm. And in order to do that in a civilized society ... we maybe have to give up a little bit of our privacy," Safir told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Monday.
Authorities said the suspected shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Nevada, appeared to have killed himself before police stormed his 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay hotel room, where they say he fired a high-capacity weapon on people below at a country music festival.
Acknowledging there's much still to be learned about Paddock, his state of mind, and his motivations, Safir said, "There should be a database for police departments and federal agencies of people who have been ... mentally disturbed where before you get a gun these people have to be cleared in order to process them."
It's not known whether Paddock obtained the weapons he had in that hotel room legally or illegally. Safir, however, said there should be more requirements of legal gun owners.
"We need to make people responsible for the guns they own. I'm not saying that we should do away with Second Amendment rights," he said. "What I'm saying is, for instance, we should have a required safety check every year of somebody who purchases a gun. Bring in your weapon."

I believe the No. 1 civil right is to be free from New York Values.
In order to do that in a civilized society, "we maybe have to give up a little bit of our privacy," he says.
But hadn't we *already* given up MUCH privacy as it was surrendered (WITHOUT OUR CONSENT) after the bogus 911 Black Op? (SEE THE 'PATRIOT ACT'.)
FACT: Because of MUSLIMS terrorism AND the lie that "Islam = Peace," why were/are the REST OF OUR privacy rights violated?? Thanks to Snowden, we're learned EVERY ONE OF US is monitored down to every keystroke and phone call (but NOT apparently the supposed "Lone Wolf" from Vegas. Nor ANY of the perps slaughtering Americans -- i.e. Newtown, Nashville, etal.)
FACT: This is ALL about the elites setting us up to remove our 2a.
FACT: Yes, it IS "The Elites" and so-called Legislative, Judicial, and Exec branches ENABLING THESE incidents as well as further undermining US security and our "civilized society" by:
1) Importing and encouraging hundreds of THOUSANDS of Jihadists into the USA SINCE 911.
2) Importing encouraging millions of Third Worlders into the USA, who do NOT share American values
3) Allowing and encouraging terrorists groups like BLM, Antifa, various Muzzie Cells, Drug Cartel Gangs etal to run free, WITH NEAR-IMPUNITY.
4) Grooming patsies to become Poster Boys for "Gun Control."
Geez -- if the certain elements within the 'Deep State' are so ready to sabotage a President, ignore the US Constitution, AND sacrifice American People in broad daylight, why presume they honor ANY moral code or loyalty oaths to the US Constitution??
