It's the interpretation of the second amendment by SCOTUS that has been inconsistent over time, not the ACLU's position. Collective/militia rights is a widespread interpretation of the second amendment (which the ACLU holds). Interpreting "right to bear arms" as unrestrained individual gun ownership is not the default position just because modern NRA advocacy says it is.

This isn't responsive to Rayiner's point. "Why" the ACLU doesn't expansively support the right to bear arms the way they do speech and freedom from search is interesting, but doesn't rebut Rayiner's point "that" they don't.
