Make carrying a knife a minimum 5 year sentence
Review the current system regarding knife crime in the uk, make it a minimum of 5 years in prison if caught carrying a knife. Needs to be reviewed immediately.
Too many lives are being lost on our streets in the uk, and in my local area of derby is becoming more frequent, a knife is a deadly weapon and carrying one has only one intention in mind! The punishment needs to be a lot more severe than the current system that clearly don’t work! A review of the system in knife crime needed immediately as the current one is flawed, we also need a monthly knife amnesty across the country in all areas. Too many people dying too young because of peoples actions

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about knife crime, but we're not sure if you just want a minimum 5-year sentence to be imposed for possession of a knife, or if you want a wider review or additional changes.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
