Arpaio talked with Breitbart News about a number of gun-related issues and indicated that an ongoing problem is that guns and gun control have become part of the “political situation.” As a result, Democrats react to the criminal misuse of guns by grandstanding to punish law-abiding citizens with gun control. The same thing happens after a terror attack, such as the one that took place in San Bernardino on December 2. Since then, Democrats have pushed to add the no-fly list to background checks, to expand background checks, to pass an “assault weapons” ban, and to institute and fund a national gun buyback. Now, Jen Psaki, White House communications director, says executive action to go around Congress and expand gun control will be coming in “weeks, not months.” Arpaio addressed this pending executive action, saying, “Obama does know we have the Second Amendment, right?” He added, “I’ve said it before. I’m not surrendering the guns. He can give an executive order saying we’ve got to collect the guns, and I’m not going to do it.” Arpaio said that “there’d be a revolution” if a president ever issued such an order. 
On December 18, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio referenced President Obama’s pending executive action on gun control and said executive order or not, guns will not be surrendered.

If those on the so called " no fly list " are so dangerous, why have they not been arrested and incarcerated, instead of being allowed to run loose?
Good point. But, even if someone is on this "noflylist," the US government can not deny the right to keep and bear arms unless the "someone" has a felony in their background. Which means, this is a whole bunch of hot aire.

Right now, they seem to be pushing this "no fly list thing. We know if given an inch, they will take several miles, and they will NOT stay within the law, and will go around any constitutional restraints. DO NOT TRUST THEM TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT !! I would also like to know the criteria for putting someone on the list, who maintains the list, and who decides who goes on it? And, then, what is the possibilities that the entire membership of the NRA, GOA, Republican Party, members of conservative sites, etc, etc all are quietly added to the list? Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Exactly correct. Citizens cannot be deprived of Rights except through due process of law. Being put on the no-fly list is done without any due process -- it's strictly handled within the executive branch with zero involvement of the judical branch. It's been so-far upheld because barring someone from flying on an airline has not been regarded as depriving one a right to travel. The right to bear arms, however, is a right, so extending the no-fly list to include a no-gun list would mean a right would be deprived without due process. For me it's an easy prediction that barring people on the no-fly list from buying a gun will fail any court review. But Obama will try it anyway, because... what the hell, why not? No money out of his pocket.
