Not entirely, since Kick-Ass 2 was in production before the Sandy Hook shooting. More than likely, it was mainly done when he realized what he thought he was doing.
What he's doing and what some fucked up kids were doing at a school are two entirely different things. There's no linkage between what he's doing and those events. So I wonder why Sandy Hook out of all the school shootings made him suddenly so anti violence in media...

Because these were kids, like little kids. Killing people is one thing. Killing kids, even in fiction? That's a special kind of taboo. Jaws shocked the world when one of the first victims was a child. Many horror writers still refuse to touch the idea of prolicide (the murder of children). The very thought of child killing is one of the things that make people very disturbed. Why do you think the media goes nuts about it?

I'm not advocating his decision; just seeing where he's coming from. While I haven't changed my stance, it's given me a hardened resolve on what to do if I happen to approach that kind of fiction in my own works. It's one reason why Viper--a fictional character I've created--has a special hatred for anyone who, to quote him, "fucks with kids."

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???
