I thought House and Senate seats go by a states popular vote, what does gerrymandering have to do with it?
they remap their districts after every 2 election cycles (in other words they're cheating). usually with republicans it's to cut democrats, black and minorities out of their districts. democrats do it too but republicans are notorious for this.

How does this effect the Senate if seats are chosen by a states popular vote? Democrats practice gerrymandering in democrat run states from a quick Google search.
Partisan gerrymandering has benefited Republicans more than Democrats for a long time. If you look at the data this is true.
The analysis found four times as many states with Republican-skewed state House or Assembly districts than Democratic ones.

How does gerrymandering effect the United states Senate when the winner is decided it by a states popular vote?
gerrymandering skews all results including the popular vote..
Gerrymandering is when a political group tries to change a voting district to create a result that helps them or hurts the group who is against them. ... It puts more votes of winners into the district they will win so the losers win in another district. It is a way that governing parties try to cement themselves in power by tilting the political map steeply in their favor. The goal is to draw boundaries of legislative districts so that as many seats as possible are likely to be won by the party’s candidates. Drafters accomplish it mainly through two practices commonly called packing and cracking.

You can't gerrymandering a states popular vote which is why you can't gerrymandering a presidential election.

Finally a reasonable answer. Now my question is if Republicans gerrymandering away from black neighborhoods wouldn't the Democrats (assuming it's their district) be responsible for opening more places to vote? Or is it up to whoever has the majority in the state? (I don't know the answer to this).
It shouldn't take a PHD to figure out gerrymandering inpacts all elections.
Each state has its own practices. I'd assume in most cases, what the governor says, goes. As long as he/she has the legislature behind him.
In North Carolina, one of the most gerrymandered states, the general assembly decides polling locations.
In 2018, Republican candidates for the state Senate and House got less than half of the vote but won more than half of the seats in each chamber. While in office, they used their majority power to restrict voting rights, further distancing themselves from accountability at the ballot box.
That year, the General Assembly passed legislation requiring voters to use one of 10 types of photo identification at the ballot box, such as driver’s licenses or passports, but forbidding types that Black voters are more likely to have, according to the report.
Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill, but the GOP majority — along with two Democrats — overrode the veto. A court has since blocked the law because of its discriminatory effect.

"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
It seems apparent to me that this right is inclusive of being engaged in a well-regulated Militia. Do you belong to one?
It also seems to allow possession of arms by individual citizens but does not detail the reason.
What about an interpretation that one can bear arms with a capacity for personal defense and/or hunting but one can only possess a weapon intended for mass destruction and assault as a component of a well-regulated Militia?
This is completely true.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Look into this more, they give people the right to bear arms AND join a well regulated militia if necessary to protect our freedoms.
