Death threats? Cause your posts are kind of mildly annoying, but in no way death threat worthy. I mean, if I was an anti-gun nut and I was going to pick a member to send death threats, you would not even be on the short list.

The OP doesn't specify but I assume this not the case which begs the question how would a DU member have his personal E-mail address. I just hate cryptic posts.

DU email system alert the administrators of this site. If it is through your private email, then how did they get your address? At any rate, that type of thing is totally uncalled for. Rest assured the authorities will get to the bottom of it.
