Prolly a little bit risky. Seeing as most black powder mills I seem to hear about blew up at one time or another. But like you said it’s just three attainable ingredients

I'm not really into black powder guns but will ask you guys that are- any of you ever tried making your own black powder? I've never heard of anyone personally doing this but wonder if ya'll have. I use to wonder about the right recipe to make it & know the ingredients that go into it- as you folks do I'm sure. I have a book that gives the breakdown of the amounts of each 3 components but never tried it. Any thoughts? Don’t get caught.

I made some years ago. Not that hard. It went bang in a flintlock. Why Hayzeus? Ain't no law against it is there? If there is where did you find it?

From the ATF website:
Is black powder subject to regulation under Federal explosives laws?
Black powder is an explosive material for purposes of Federal explosives laws and regulations. However, the law exempts from regulation commercially manufactured black powder in quantities not exceeding 50 pounds (as well as percussion caps, safety and pyrotechnic fuses, quills, quick and slow matches, and friction primers) intended to be used solely for sporting, recreational, or cultural purposes in antique firearms as defined in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(16) or in antique devices exempted from the term "destructive device" in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(4). However, persons engaged in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in black powder in any quantity must have a Federal explosives license, and comply with recordkeeping, storage and conduct of business requirements. [18 U.S.C. 841(c), 841(d), 845(a)(5); 27 CFR 555.11: definitions of "explosives" and "explosive materials", 555.141(b)]

The gov't feels the need to insert itself into the equation.

I'm good then..no way I'd make 50 lbs. That ATF reg that's posted says that us individuals can't make any. Period.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
