Introduce mandatory 42 year prison sentences for using a knife against another.

Petition Details

The knife crime epidemic in the UK is out of control. There is at present no suitable deterrent and with the increasing lawlessness and lack of visible policing, evildoers are increasingly prepared to threaten and use a knife against a fellow citizen. Knife injuries for victims are life sentences.
