Phosphate itself is not used to make explosives, but it can be a component in the manufacturing of certain types of explosives, like ammonium phosphate-based fertilizers. These fertilizers can be potentially misused to create explosives, but the process would involve other chemical compounds and steps beyond just phosphate.

Is it legeal to make homemade explosives?

That depends on where you are and what kind of explosives you make. The ATF redefined the word 'explosives" last year to include several products that were not previously considered explosives. In many places you can make your own black powder, rocket propellants and fuse. Some more powerful "explosives" can be made in very small quantities for use in fireworks, but there are restrictions on the storage of explosives. For more detailed and up to date rules, go to atf.gov.

Would the world be abetter place if all explosives were banned?

No.....because if they banned explosives, then we will have no fireworks :( x :) More importantly, even outside of military use, explosives are critical for modern civilization. Explosives are used extensively in the mining for minerals, and in drilling and extraction of various fossil fuels. They are also used in both construction and demolition of buildings and other infrastructure. Making explosives illegal to use would make many of these tasks harder, more expensive, and often much more dangerous, and some tasks are simply not doable without using explosives.
