Offensive weapons

Additional Information

Whilst this is related to all of the UK, knife crime has suddenly surged in Essex within the last couple of months. There have been at least 5 known stabbings in the last couple of weeks alone! This has got to stop!

Knives are not cool. If you're carrying a knife and are caught, this should be an instant jail term, no questions asked. If caught using a knife, this should be a minimum of ten years. Something has to be done to prevent any more crimes in this area!
