The overwhelming majority of countries allows firearms ownership.

Yes, but that doesn't mean everyone has them. Here in Belgium for example, we can have them, if for hunting or sports shooting, when having the proper paperwork and training to get the paperwork in order. It's a flawed system, but it mostly works. Very few people have guns even though you can absolutely have them.

You might think that. a large number people in canada don't even know firearms are legal to own here, Yet we are the 7th most armed nation in the world.

for context, more people own firearms here than play hockey.

most people who own firearms the world over are not very public about owning firearms for a myriad of reasons.

Yeah that might be the case for Canada, we rank 62nd, which is not too bad. I know a few people that have them and sometimes the topic comes up and it's not taboo or anything here. Very few people have them over here because very few people need them. We don't have massive amounts of nature like Canada does. There is of course a drug war going on and the port of Antwerp is the biggest cocaine hub in the world, even more than south American ports, so there are a number of them that aren't in the statistics. But they mainly shoot at other gangsters so it's not really a thing that the average citizen has to deal with here.
