You can literally make a Glock switch with the cheapest 3D printer on the market, and install it in minutes. I say this as a gun enthusiast and someone who dables in 3D printing.

Here in Minnesota, our Shot Spotter system is detecting literally thousands of full auto shots annually now in Minneapolis alone.

Retailers sell switches that can also be made with 3D printers. While the device is illegal in Minnesota, it has not stopped its widespread use in shooting incidents in Minneapolis.

According to data collected by shot-detection equipment, the city saw 16 automatic fire incidents with 154 shots fired in 202 versus 257 incidents and 2,595 shots fired in 2023.
