No. They're hypocrites because they call themselves the American Civil Liberties Union but then turn around and work AGAINST the foundational civil liberty itself.
Correction: They work against what you believe is the foundational civil liberty. They don't agree with you. The fact that your opinion and their opinion differ is not hypocrisy. It's a reflection of the fact that you and the ACLU are not the same being. If I hate peanut butter and my sister eats a peanut butter sandwich, she is not a hypocrite. She just likes peanut butter.
As much as I tend to side closer to you than the ACLU on the gun rights issue, I hardly see the fact that the ACLU disagrees as hypocrisy. You can argue that they're wrong and that it would be a good thing for them to duplicate the NRA's work, but that's about as far as I'd take it.
