Increase the sentence to ten years minimum if you are caught carrying a knife

Petition Details

I think that the minimum sentence for being found carrying a knife should be increased to ten years.

Additional Information

People are needlessly losing their lives as a result of knife crime. This is destroying families. I believe that having a minimum sentence of ten years could help reduce knife crime and the destruction it causes.
