I was reading here that they were considering it a while back, but haven't been able to find anything.

have their been any attempts, from larger cities such as Mancheter, at more gun laws/grabs?

I'm not sure what you're looking for for information but, that I know of, NH has no cities or towns with laws(like an AWB) other than what state statutes allow or prohibit. You should check on local ordinances though of the cities/towns you're interested in.

NH is a gun friendly state but you should search the RSA's that I linked in one of your other threads.

NH has complete pre-emption at a state level. Here's what you're looking for:

159:26 Firearms and Ammunition; Authority of the State. –
I. To the extent consistent with federal law, the state of New Hampshire shall have authority and jurisdiction over the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, or firearms supplies in the state. Except as otherwise specifically provided by statute, no ordinance or regulation of a political subdivision may regulate the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, or firearms supplies in the state. Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting a political subdivision's right to adopt zoning ordinances for the purpose of regulating firearms businesses in the same manner as other businesses or to take any action allowed under RSA 207:59.
II. Upon the effective date of this section, all municipal ordinances and regulations not authorized under paragraph I relative to the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearm components, ammunition, or firearms supplies shall be null and void.
