I’ve asked this many times and no one seems able to say how it can be realistically achieved and forcing every gun owner to willingly part with their guns? How?

That's a false choice. No one believes that can happen.
What can be done is better control on the guns sold now. You can start by registering each gun to a person, have a waiting period and mental health checks, and enforce it federally so no state can have an exemption. It shouldn't be easier to buy a gun than drive a car.
It's not going to stop every attack but over time restricting the use of guns and making sure that any gun is registered to a specific person might help stop them circulating around so freely.
Guns in the classroom is an insane idea that was the content of satire not that long ago. There are all sorts of things that could go wrong when you increase the numbers of guns around children. Whose going to be to blame when those guns are fired at someone who is not a mass killer? Either because of panic, a breakdown or a confrontation that gets out of hand?
The NRA probably can't believe their luck that yet another mass school shooting is going to give them one of their prized ambitions.
