  It's easier and legal to get a car battery.

These gentlemen are not very scientific.
Making gunpowder from chickenshit is quite complex.

Did you know that acetone - a highly useful solvent used extensively by 
people who make glass fibre  components, is also used by people who brew

stops it going bang.

We used to use sodium chlorate - a weedkiller that is now also banned

Terrorist and criminals use what they can get their hands on

Only the government gets to use the good stuff.
