Here's Mike MIllar's respond

I'm gonna get literal here cause I hate misunderstoods and because sometimes it's the best way to make everything clear. He said he didn't support the violence not the movie.
Besides, people change and their way to see life and do things also changes. He's a human being for God's sake. He's allow to change is mind.
He became a granddad and I wouldn't be surprise that when Sandy Hook happen his thought could have been "What if it was my grandson, or my daughter?".
A lot has happen since the movie was done.
He's probably like a cat who has fallen on water and it's avoiding to be near it.
He got so much heat because of his stance in gun-control that it's hard.
I saw the comments and videos of people saying he was a hypocrite. They used scenes from his movies where he's not doing anything violent but simply have a gun in the hand doing an impression. Imagine the heat from Kick Ass 2? I felt sick to my stomach, and angry, and sad, and pissed at everything those people, who know Jim way less than we, where saying about him... and guess what, I'm no one! I'm just one in millions of fans. I was having all those feelings and it wasn't about me... I can't imagine what he went through.
I think he just gave two steps forwards and it maybe a bit too soon but none of us can say that in his shoes we would do it differently.
I don't agree completely on Jim on this though, simply because his part seems to me, the least violent of them all and because personally I don't believe violence in a movie causes violence. Sometimes it does, but only for the sick people and thank God the majority of us, aren't sick.
As Jim fan (like you guys), I agree with Mark in this point: "Our audience is smart enough to know they're all pretending and we should instead just sit back and enjoy the serotonin release of seeing bad guys meeting bad ends as much as we enjoyed seeing the Death Star exploding."
We certainly are.... and again those who aren't, are sick.
Regardless, at the end of the day, I'm with Jim. I will still support him and his movies. but above it all, I will respect him and his heart choices.

I don't wanna try and read his mind cause I don't like that... it seems like, when people do that they assume too much and get blind by lies instead of seeing the truth. ^^
Yet, I agree Cotton.
