As I was typing this, I wondered how much more ridiculous this could get, so I googled the terms "expelled for making gun with hands" and found the following:
Yakima kindergartner expelled for making a gun with hands

Personally, I find the little green 'army men' toys to be much more dangerous than a kindergartner pointing a finger. I have stepped on an army man or two in my time and it didn't feel very good. I have yet to be injured by a finger being pointed at me.
My kid didn't get expelled, but we did get a call from his teacher in kindergarten for pointing his finger and going "bang bang". We were like, "SFW? Don't call us for idiotic stuff like this."
Packed away somewhere is a picture of my 4th grade class in our Halloween costumes. I was the Lone Ranger that year, and in the picture I am "fanning" the pistol toward the camera. Nobody got a case of the vapors over it.
