"Jews tend not to own guns, and that's very unfortunate, because if you look at our history, we could've used one or two throughout that time," Karol Markowicz, a columnist for the New York Post and Fox News, said at the Jewish Gun Ownership and Self-Defense event at The Heritage Foundation on Thursday.
