The statement 'Now, do America' in response to the news about Washington State approving new gun control measures is a call to action for broader implementation of similar laws across the United States. The tone is one of advocacy for policy change, and the intent seems to be to encourage the expansion of gun control measures to prevent mass shootings. The image from The New York Times provides context by stating that the sale of AR-15-style rifles is now banned in 9 states and attributes the legislative push to Democrats in the context of the U.S. grappling with mass shootings.
