The Short, Short Version:

There was only half of the expected volume of firearms surrendered as part of buyback program. Owning any of the now prohibited 2500 models will be considered a crime after October. You still have lots of models of legal guns, blah, blah, blah.

They want to prohibit the sale of the SKS. They claim it is an assault-style weapon and should not be sold.

So they admit there's no chance to even try and get any of the millions that are already in people's hands, but they don't want any new ones going out. They also claimed that the SKS has been used in shootings, so that is reason enough to ban it and they're mad at the government for taking so long.
