Contrary to popular belief, there is no law requiring the registration of any firearm in California, sans classified assault weapons. Like Norcalrider said, any transfer must be made through an FFL.
Long guns have no name attached to the serial number like handguns in California. They have no idea who owns that longarm, unless it's reported stolen.
Edit- The longarm registration is set to begin January 1st , 2014.
