Rejected petition Mandatory 5 - 10 year prison sentence for carrying a knife without just cause.

Kids are killing kids and others, we have the power to introduce tough punishments to deter this epidemic culture and failure to act in itself is a crime, it is time to take control of our futures and as adults and parents, we need the support of the law behind us.

More details

Bringing in minimum sentences for simply carrying a knife in public without just cause is the first step in taking control of our streets and making them a safer place for everyone, to many young children are being killed for no reason other than cowardly attacks and without intervention, this epidemic is only going to get worse.
