I searched but couldn't find any pics. Could you post a link? I'd love to see those.

This was from the Atlanta Linux Showcase from 1998. They actually had a gun enthusiast BOF and went to a gun range:
From ESR's website:

So much for RMS not using guns ;)

Wow! If I didn't see it I wouldn't have believed it. Those are great pics.

In fairness, I've never heard RMS speak out about outlawing gun ownership. The guy is not a pacifist. As a matter of fact, RMS supported the US war in Afghanistan.

Edit: I love the url for pic #3

What those photos don't show, is that Linus Torvalds face is pinned on the target. :P
