5 years would seem pointless because (Papa correct me if I am wrong ) there is no legal method of selling those rifles. SO in essence the Government has announced "we are stealing your rifle in 5 years!"
Oh, there has been one hell of an outcry from the firearms enthusiast population. Five years does mean exactly what you said, but it also means 5 years to lobby for a grandfather clause.
