In his speech outlining a series of proposals targeting mass shootings and gun violence, the president called for anyone “in the business” of selling firearms to get a license and conduct background checks of buyers.

Barry Bauer, of Herb Bauer Sporting Goods in Fresno, pointed out that under California law, private-party transfers of guns already go through a dealer who has a federal firearms license. In addition, all purchasers of guns in the state are legally required to pass a computerized federal background check.

“We’ve got all those things in place already,” he said.

Added Craig Deluz of the Firearms Policy Coalition, a pro-gun-rights blog: “Everything on his wish list is in California.” Deluz is also legislative advocate for the California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees, the state’s largest association of firearms retailers and manufacturers.
