Its the TOTAL no. of weapons where India ranks second. According to per capita figures its not the India nor the Pakistan who are second, its Yemen at position 2 with 61 guns per 100, Finland at no. 3 with 56 per 100 and so on (in later part of the article)!! Theres' no India or Pakistan or China in that list...

I guess the article takes abt the total number of guns/firearms and not the density.

India No. 2 with regard to total number of arms currently with civilians. But 12 per 100 is not second because the total arms is directly related to total population
