God certainly could have created a world without metal, in which case we wouldn't have guns that kill. Metal is not crucial to human survival. But he made metal anyway, knowing that we would use it to create guns that kill. So yes, he is responsible.
It wouldn't even impinge upon free will if he created a world without metal. We have a world without the means to make lightsabers that kill, and that doesn't affect free will, so why not a world without the means to make guns?
The "world without metal" theory has to also take into consideration that were that the case, the human body would have to be vastly different in function and structure. Otherwise everyone would die anyway.
And, what is to say that we will not be able to actually make "lightsabers" (of a sort) in the future?
I do not believe though, that the availability of weapons has any effect on free will. So, therefore, I do not believe that God is responsible for the deaths caused by weapons (guns or otherwise).
