I'm ambivalent about the 2nd amendment (and in fact lean left on it) but flat-out blaming it for the state of personal safety in the US is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. "Guns don't kill people, people do" at least points to the important and relevant truth that murder and homicide is a human behavior with complex motives, even if that alone wouldn't be enough for me to support private gun ownership. "You're not safe in the US because of the second amendment" is just a stupid lie.
