There was one pronoun in my sentence (That). What modified that pronoun?
(is debatable). Now, what in the sentence I was replying to is
debatable-- war or the notion that guns were designed for war? (the

"that" would be war?

Either
a) you're trying to be clever while saying that he was being sarcastc, or
b) you're trying to be clever while announcing that you're about to be
sarcastic.
if a: I assure you he wasn't being sarcastic. just dumb.
b: You shouldn't have to announce sarcasm. It's not really sarcasm,
then, anyway...
