The NSW government announced its gun buyback scheme over the weekend, saying it aimed to remove 274,000 firearms from circulation.

There has been an angry reaction from farmers and shooters, with some saying the $1,000 compensation being offered is "like stealing".

The buyback will aim to remove 274,000 guns from circulation in NSW from November 2.
