Rejected petition Five for a knife! 5 year sentence for any person found carrying a knife.

We the No More Knives board and our fellow supporters believe if harsher punishments are laid out this will help to reduce the knife epidemic in our country! It’s out of control. Its a daily thing now. People are terrified to leave their homes. Innocent people caught up in this world.
