Rejected petition Ban knives on the streets

Knife crime on the streets of London has become an ever increasing problem. I think we should ban knives on the streets unless for culinary purpose . Any other knife you need to be registered and background checked to own and to carry in public have a permit with proof of a valid reason .

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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like to ban carrying a knife or whether you'd like to introduce a register and background checks.

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