Jim Carrey, who has been outspoken in his criticism of the NRA and gun enthusiasts since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, has decided that maybe making a violent action comedy before that tragedy wasn’t the best idea.

He tweeted that he won’t be promoting “Kick-Ass 2,” because he’s “had a change of heart.”

Carrey is in desperate need of something resembling a comeback — reduced to supporting roles, with big star vehicles a thing of the past. “Kick-Ass 2,” if it’s like the first film, makes light of violence even as it tries to show that there’s no such thing as a “Super” hero, and that bullets, beatings and stabbings can stop the bravest of vigilantes.
