In most U.S. states, you don't need any certification. You go into a gun shop, show the sales person a valid, government issued photo ID with your correct address, fill out a form, and they run a background check. Basically, if you aren't a felon and don't have any misdemeanors for domestic abuse, you can buy a gun. However, the exception to that is certain states that have different requirements, such as Illinois where you have to first obtain a sate issued Firearm Owner ID card.
