00:00These are dangerous weapons that need to be off our streets.
00:04That's why we're bringing in the ban on ninja swords,
00:07the kind that was used to kill Ronan Cander,
00:10part of Ronan's Law, but much more widely.
00:13We've got to get these knives off the street,
00:16part of our mission to halve knife crime over the next ten years.
00:20We're determined to have much stronger action
00:22to get these dangerous weapons off the streets,
00:25including the ban on ninja swords,
00:27but also the zombie weapons that we banned last summer,
00:31and also have much stronger checks and penalties
00:35on illegal online knife sales as well alongside.
00:39The stronger prevention we need with young people
00:42and the stronger penalties too.
00:44We need to stop these dangerous weapons getting into the hands of teenagers.
00:48We know in the case of Ronan Cander,
00:51he was killed by teenagers who had managed to buy
00:54more than 20 weapons online,
00:57dangerous weapons that frankly should have been illegal
01:00and we have since now banned.
01:02We are banning those weapons, but also he should not have been able
01:06to buy those sorts of things online without proper checks in place.
01:11So we have to take that action.
01:13I believe it can make a difference to preventing
01:16some of those dangerous weapons on the street,
01:18but it has to be part of much stronger action,
01:21a comprehensive mission involving everyone to keep our children safe.
