Introduce military service sentences for carrying a bladed weapon

What the petition asks
We want people who are caught carrying a bladed weapon to be sentenced to service in military boot camps.
We are tired of seeing young innocent lives taken, our areas crumble, crime and the fear it creates in society. We're tired of knife crime and we feel insufficient action has been taken and there's no deterrent.
