What the petition asks

The government to pass a bill to deport foreign criminals that have been sentenced to free up prison spaces & start locking up people carrying weapons, especially knifes to a minimum of 3-10 years.
We are loosing a generation to crime related to people carrying weapons. So many people, especially under 18s are being killed everyday by people carrying knifes. The government & criminal system needs to get tough on people carrying weapons.
There are no excuses for carrying weapons & non should be considered when arresting & sending people to prisons.
Law & order needs to be up held now at all costs & without any excuses.
Too many young lives are being lost & wasted.
