The supreme court didn't take away the ability to get abortions. It just moved jurisdiction to states instead of at the federal level because there is absolutely no mention of abortion in the Constitution, when there absolute is mention of guns in the Constitution.

The majority of states in the US will have the same abortion laws they have always had.

Define 'gun.'

If there was a handheld contraption with a trigger that could fire a small nuclear projectile that could destroy an entire city would the right to have one be protected by the second amendment just because it fits the general definition of a gun?

It's not a game. The founders could not have foreseen the types of weapons that we quite arbitrarily consider to be 'guns' as described in the constitution, therefore if anyone is playing games it is the people who call themselves 'originalists' when they pretend that it is that philosophy that informs their judicial opinions.
