I believe they started as a huge rock metal core greater than the
mass
of the earth that was capable of gathering their huge gas atmospheres
through great gravity. Gas by itself does not possess enough gravity.

No, but starstuffs do.

Those starstuffs I take to be the heavier elements that would make the
gas giants core capturing the gas.

***Sure, you could put it like that. But they would have to be pretty
amazingly heavy if scattered molecules of themselves are going to
somehow float together through space.
