If there were aany diminishment of positive public opinion of the NRA, it was very short lived as evidenced by increased menbership as well as increased gun ownership since.

As far as your opinion that this is somehow a "Republican board" that is also wrong. There obviously is a significant number of contributors who are patriots, disgusted in the direction the country has taken, particularly under the aegis of the current administration. They are strongly conservative leaning, but cannot be defined as republican, misogynist, racist or whatever definition you choose to apply to discredit them.
