The guns issue definitely has to do with countries where there are varying levels of censorship of firearms in games. For a game that is so incredibly popular it would be very jarring to the fanbase of said countries if the game was delayed to rework issues in the game, or even worse banned all together. They likely want to keep it as clean a release as possible on all possible fronts so everyone can enjoy it.
