Rejected petition Increase the sentence for anyone carrying a prohibited weapon

I am asking the government to increase the minimum sentence for anyone caught with a prohibited weapon as to help deter people carrying weapons

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure if you want to increase the minimum sentence for carrying, for example, offensive weapons, bladed weapons or firearms.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
