I believe the penalty was for going to the ground during the celebration, not the gun part. I didn't see a penalty flag until he crashed the jet.
I guess we are both right- he was actually flagged for going to the ground as you say, and the NFL will also fine him for gestures stimulating a gun:
The NFL will likely fine Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson for his simulated gun action that mimicked the self-inflicted wound once suffered by New York Jets receiver Plaxico Burress, league sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
The league prohibits players from making gestures with simulated weapons.
