It was Childers who brought the legislation/lawsuit against Washington DC when they restricted gun rights. It wasn’t Cochran. It wasn’t even John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, Scott Brown, Lamar Alexander, John Cornyn, etc., etc., though they were in a far better position to be able to do so.
Childers is MORE conservative that anyone I just listed....all republicans.
Maybe Childers just wanted to represent his district.
It's stunning how "conservative" Pubs get elected from conservative districts and states and then "evolve" into establishment types. Fool me once shame on them. Fool me twice shame on me.
