Rejected petition Change the law of Knife crime

More details

I believe the law for being found with a knife in your possession you should get locked up longer and if you harm someone with a knife you should get life and no shorter time depending on behaviour!

I lost a good friend to a knife and his killer will be in the streets when I'm in my 30's
