Knife means Life

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Simple proposal to tackle the country problem with knife crime. If you are found with a Knife, you are deemed intending to use it, give them life. No cushy jail, back to old hard time.
Over 80 teenage stabbings this year! More than New York. What kind of country are we if we can't protect our own kids from killing each other.
