Someone has to keep the military industrial complex afloat.

Well, I mean that makes sense. Every time they start barking about gun-control, it boosts sales. Of corse that industry wants her.

We aren't talking firearms... We are talking big boy war. Boeing, BAE systems, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martian, Chrysler Defence, Goodrich, General Dynamics, United Technologies, Honeywell, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, ATK, Raytheon, and the most anti-2nd amendment gun company and current supplier of light arms, Heckler and Koch.

Fair enough, they still are profiting on her assertion that we should be afraid of some boogy-man, whether that boogy-man is armed rednecks that want to hurt us or brown foreigners people that want to hurt us.

Original data: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/recips.php?ind=D&cycle=2016&recipdetail=P&mem=N&sortorder=U shows Defense contributions to Shillary $94,951 and Sanders $28,500, among others. Surprised that $94,951 is "more than any other candidate in history" but who knows. Plenty of other interesting stats.

OP just created a misleading title; she's the presidential candidate with the most(as the Democrat hawk, it makes sense), but members of Congress have already surpassed her and the amount thrown about in the last election was over ten times the amount she's raised on both sides.
