Introduce mandatory life sentences for carrying a knife or other bladed weapon

Petition Details

This is very simple, we want anyone caught carrying a knife or other bladed weapon in public without proper reason to be jailed for life. No exceptions, no bail or parole.

Additional Information

Knife crime is getting out of hand and we believe police forces don't have the powers or resources to tackle the rise in knife crime. Let's give the criminal a deterrent that will make them think twice, and if they still decide to carry a knife then they should be taken off the streets.
