Petition Increase the sentence to ten years minimum if you are caught carrying a knife

I think that the minimum sentence for being found carrying a knife should be increased to ten years.

More details

People are needlessly losing their lives as a result of knife crime. This is destroying families. I believe that having a minimum sentence of ten years could help reduce knife crime and the destruction it causes.
