Said part can be installed in a matter of minutes, and printed for a few dollars.

Said Glock's outfitted with such devices have been soaring in popularity in recent years, as evidenced by police reports and Shot Spotter technology:

Just because the created weapon does mag dumps instead of controlled bursts doesn't mean it's not dangerous or illegal. And "dumb and goofy" is HIGHLY appealing to the same subset of people who join gangs and commit crimes.

And FYI, I'm an avid gun owner and shooter myself. I was on a Facebook page for owners of TX-22 handguns, until it was inundated recently with videos and for sale posts of guys using a new forced-reset-trigger part that costs all of $5 each.
