Isn't The Best Defense A Good Offense?

Unfortunately most gun owners tend to be private people who just want to be left alone. All the "crusaders" are on the other side of the issue trying to push their narrow beliefs on the rest of us so, we end up playing defense by default.
I do get your point though and perhaps it is indeed time to start pushing back.

I am thinking that if we as a country push to remove restrictions on guns, the gun grabbers will have their hands full trying to deal with that, they wont have time to try and impose more restrictions upon us. By letting them restrict our rights, haven't we already accepted our second amendment to be infringed upon?

That's what a lot of the pro second amendment groups are trying to do... but we need more of "our kind" in positions of authority at the federal, state, and local levels to really make things happen.
Then there's the entrenched bureaucrats and assorted types to deal with as well. It's not going to be easy but we definitely need to keep pushing back regardless of whether it's from an offensive or defensive position.
Good topic.

Not to be a stick in the mud or anything but... with that extra "k" in there that name... disturbs me.

I just feel that if we are not trying to push to remove what has been done, then we accept being submited.
There is a defference between trying to win, and just trying not to be defeated. I for one want to win, I dont want a permit to have a long pistol, a short rifle, or a quiet gun of either form, or to carry concealed.

Read the following book- Unintended Consequences by John Ross. Might be an inspiration.

There are several bills that have been introduced in the OR legislature that are pro-gun. Until they come out-of-committee, there is not excitment to be generated. Do a search to find them. Also, keep an eye on;
