How much land did the settlers get in the homestead act?
In an effort to encourage Western migration, the U.S. Government (under president Abraham Lincoln) began providing settlers 160 acres of public land. In exchange, homesteaders paid a small filing fee and were required to complete five years of continuous residence before receiving ownership of the land. After six months of residency, homesteaders also had the option of purchasing the land from the government for $1.25 per acre. The Homestead Act led to the distribution of 80 million acres of public land by 1900.

That way the gun will not trace back to you as ownership then resides in the transferee.
