They are also very often on the side of strong gun regulation. For instance they did not support the outcome in the Heller case because they do not believe it is an individual right, but a collective right. The laws in question in that case effectively made gun ownership in DC impossible for private citizens.

They've really burned almost all of the trust I had for them back in the 70s and 80s.

That's a very strange interpretation. Here is an example, one of many:

I too support reasonable limits on firearm ownership. The question is defining what is reasonable.

Here is a statement on their website.

If the question is defining reasonable then I have no reason to trust them. I simply do not trust them to define civil liberties consistently if those rights pit conservative views against liberal ones.
