I think their definition of ‘strict’ may vary from ours (and California has the strictest gun laws in the US).
Only 1% of applicants are refused because of background checks, and they can have an unlimited amount of firearms (but can only buy on firearm per month).

If you're a gun owner in California, you must:
Pass a universal background check, no matter where you buy your gun
Wait at least 10 days to receive that gun (the idea here is to give law enforcement enough time to conduct the background check)
Get your handgun microstamped, which means the make, model and serial number of the gun is transferred to each cartridge case every time the gun is fired (the idea is to allow police at a crime scene to trace a gun back to its owner)
Take and pass a written safety test
You can't:
Own most assault weapons or buy and sell large-capacity ammunition magazines or .50 caliber rifles
Buy your gun through a private sale, like online or via a friend, without first going through a licensed dealer (and thus getting a background check)
Buy more than one handgun a month
