A simple logical law would be that you must be age 21 or older to purchase a semi-auto rifle.

Not true, Jim. The weapon of choice for mass murderers is a handgun, not a rifle. That is very easily verified with a little Google search.
Ramos had 77 minutes alone with two classrooms of children. He could have killed just as many by strangling them with his bare hands.
Remove motive and opportunity and so many lives would be spared.
