There is no federal gun registration in the US. Therefore, the only thing that shows your ownership of a gun is a bill of sale. Dealers keep records of sales and there is no need to do anything. Private individuals selling a personal firearm may keep records, but there is no requirement.

If you are buying a gun not in the same state you need to go through a FFL. Some states, like IL and NJ have licensing requirements. See your local laws for more detail.

Can you register a gun in your name if purchased by someone else?

In the United States, gun registration laws vary by state. Generally, a firearm must be purchased by the individual who intends to own it, as federal law prohibits the transfer of a firearm to someone who is prohibited from owning one. If someone else purchases a gun for you, it could be considered a "straw purchase," which is illegal. To register a gun in your name, you typically need to be the direct purchaser.
