Milestones

Create a law that increases minimum sentences for knife possession to 10 years.

We believe knife crime has sky rocketed. Innocent people have been killed at bus stops or going for a run in parks. Some children carry knives because they think they need it for safety against others. We are worried that our families are not safe.
