There have been recorded supernovas that still have planets orbiting afterwards. Maybe i undershot for suns that are larger than ours, but if our sun went supernova, the force would not be enough to destroy the gas giants. Though the loss of mass would probably be enough to send them flying out of our solar system, and if Jupiter was lucky enough to catch a few of the other planets, it might be enough for it to start as a star.

But I'm getting off topic, because the point i was trying to make was that our sun going supernova would not be enough to break up the gas giants.
