Petition Tougher punishment for those found carrying and using knives.

More details

The aim of this petition is to alter and improve the current law which applies to those found carrying and using a knife.
Recent stabbings and fatal outcomes of those, make many of us wonder whether we, ourselves, may suffer or whether someone close to us will.
In order to change this and make our society safer, as well as punish those who are found doing the above mentioned, we would like to gain as many signatures as possible and see a change.
Reaching the signature goal will lead to this being discussed in the Parliament.
Thank you
