Introduce a licensing scheme for the sale of all knives and bladed articles.

Petition Details

I want a licensing scheme for the sale of knives to be introduced making it illegal to sell knives & bladed articles either publicly or privately, unless you are a licensed seller. Government to issue licences to sellers through local authorities in a similar way to alcohol/gambling licences.

Additional Information

I want this scheme to help reduce the accessibility of knives and dangerous weapons that are being used daily on our streets to injure, maim and kill.Through a licensing scheme the buying and selling of knives would be closely monitored.Purchasers would need to provide photo ID when buying them,including online. No photo ID no sale. Those selling knives/weapons without a licence would face prosecution and increased sentences for selling banned weapons. I want this introduced to help save lives.
