Most importantly what goes up must come down. A man died on New Years Eve in Orlando years ago. Some idiot decided to shoot his gun up into the air to celebrate. The bullet came down a couple blocks away and hit a man in the back of his head. You cannot just shoot a shotgun in T V.

Personally I can't watch the circle of life on tv relevant to animals so I get the OP's compassion for the sweet little birds; but a shot gun is not the answer.
The 3 day waiting period is a Florida law that has been in effect for about a two years or so. The background check is a Federal law that only applies to purchases from a licensed firearm dealer.
