What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to call for a nationwide knife amnesty. The last amnesty was in 2006, two decades ago, in a country with high knife crime, especially among youths. The Government should also consider the use of safety deposit boxes to safely dispose of any weapons in areas which are known to authorities due to violent crime rates being higher.
