			==Gun Buyback Programs==

			Gun Buyback Programs, or "Voluntarily Surrender and Destroy" programs, are not allowed in NH. Instead, when firearms are voluntarily surrendered to police or to the state in general, they must either keep them for their own use, or they must offer them for sale to the public. They cannot destroy them.

			From [http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XII/159/159-mrg.htm RSA 159:25]:

			<blockquote>No state agency shall operate a firearms "voluntary surrender and destroy" program. Firearms which are voluntarily surrendered to a state agency shall be sold at public auction or kept by the state agency for its own use. Proceeds from firearms sold at public auction by the state shall be deposited in the general fund.</blockquote>

			==Federal Firearm Law Nullification==

			[https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=1445&inflect=2 HB1178] has been signed into law. This nullifies federal gun control and prohibits state agents from aiding in their enforcement in NH. From the bill:

			<blockquote>Pursuant to the general court’s authority under Part II, Article 5 of the New Hampshire Constitution, the state of New Hampshire, a political subdivision of this state, or any person acting under the color of state, county, or municipal law shall be prohibited from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with any law, act, rule, order, or regulation of the United States Government or Executive Order of the President of the United States that is inconsistent with any law of this state regarding the regulation of firearms, ammunition, magazines or the ammunition feeding devices, firearm components, firearms supplies, or knives. </blockquote>
