Depends on the gun- but in MOST US states, there is no registration of ordinary firearms- rifles, shotguns and handguns. Rather than giving you a list of some 40 odd states, please repost your question with a specific state and region, and type of gun.

So the answer is, you probably don't have to register the gun, regardless of where you bought it, unless you live in California, Massachusetts, or one of the other states that require it (there are only about 5 or 6 states that require registration).
