India had the world's second-largest civilian gun arsenal, with an
estimated 46 million firearms outside law enforcement and the
military, though this represented just four guns per 100 people there.
China, ranked third with 40 million privately held guns, had 3
firearms per 100 people.

Germany, France, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil and Russia were next in the
ranking of country's overall civilian gun arsenals.

Interesting info! Thanks! I'd never have guessed India was #2.
