Ammonium nitrate is a nitrate salt though - (NH4)(NO3)

Actually, come to think of it, depending on your area of residence, buying it might require a license as it can be used to make explosives.

Do you realize that to make nitric acid from some nitrate salt, you would need sulfuric acid (or other stronger acid).. ?

Yes we know. Use nitric acid with some base, or metal oxide.
