Legalise Possessing Knives with a Licence

Petition Details

We believe legalising the possession of knives, with appropriate checks, could seriously reduce knife crime and deter those intending to use the for malicious intent.

Additional Information

By implementing strict background checks, thorough licensing procedures, and mandatory training programs, the UK can ensure that individuals possessing knives are law-abiding citizens educated in responsible usage.

Furthermore legalisation fosters a transparent environment, enabling law enforcement to focus resources on combating illegal activities. Public awareness campaigns following changes to the law could emphasise the legal, safe use of knives could help reshape attitudes and behaviours.
