Well, taking a gun and gaslighting you by saying "these people's lives are in danger because of you" is pretty solid a threat! People generally have guns for self defense or hunting; sensible people don't go around threatening to shoot others with their gun collection. So it would be wise to report this to the police or some other trusted adult.
Does your dad have a history of mental instability or violence? This would be something you can address with whomever you make the report to. Keep notes of all the time he acts threatening, and not necessarily just in the instances where he's saying he plans to shoot someone who sends him into a rage.
Another thing, do you have another parent or sibling(s) living with you? If so (and they're older than you, never burden younger siblings) then I suggest confiding in them. You shouldn't have to go through this alone.
