Likely not as cheap as a car battery.  I see a 2.3L mini scuba tank on 
Amazon for $299 (no idea how big a 2.3L mini tank really is).  I can 
get a car battery for about $100 at the local auto-store.

And the scuba tank will not also spray sulfuric acid over everyone when 
it goes "bang".  And short of an armor peircing slug, it is probably 
more difficult to get a new scuba tank to go "bang" vs becoming a brief 
high speed rocket or spinner.

Perhaps google would answer your question...  Or perhaps google would 
report you to the authorities for even asking the question?

Lack of education maybe?  They can buy the car battery at an auto parts 
store (no education required, just the local currency) and they likely 
have a "script" passed down that they have no idea how/why it works, 
but if the do x, y, and z, it does work.

Making gunpower does require some knowledge and skill -- although 
presumably it too could be scripted.  So perhaps the 'authorities' are 
watching the gunpowder precursor purchases, but not watching 'car 
battery' purchases?
