Rejected petition All shops selling knives should have these locked away prior to sale.

As of 3 March, there have been at least 13 murders in London so far in 2019. Of those five were aged 19 or under. Our children are being murdered on the street. We need to take measures to prevent knives falling into the wrong hands.
