That statistic is not correct, anyway. It's an outdated estimate by a single entity, with an unsubstantiated claim for a huge number of unregistered weaponry.

More commonly accepted estimates put Finland in line with many other European countries at around 30 firearms per 100 people. Most of those are indeed hunting rifles. (In Finland, like perhaps most other European countries, you need a license to buy or legally own a firearm. A gun license requires an acceptable reason like hunting or sports; notably, self defense is not one for the general public.)
