Introduce mandatory life sentences for carrying a knife or other bladed weapon
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.
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.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
