Make carrying a knife the same punishment as carrying a firearm.
Bring the laws/punishment for carrying a knife or any "deadly weapon" to the same of that of carrying a firearm.
Knife crime is on the rise it is the real pandemic in this country. Nothing significant has been done to tackle this, other than increased stop and searches. Make the risk greater for carrying a knife or a deadly weapon, by making the punishment that of carrying a firearm.
