Change the law of holding a knife

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I think If someone if found with a knife it should be an automatic 5 year sentence

I’m sick of hearing about all these kids at ages of 13 being killed by a knife

It is absolutely disgusting and getting worse and worse by the day we all need to say stop and make a stand for our children.

No more knife crime this has to end
