I'm so glad to see someone else looking at this from a practical engineering standpoint. They've really had a handful of successful distance launches, none of which went much more than 2200 miles which is 50% of the way to hitting the US west coast (and I mean the COAST, not inland). Even then we have no idea how accurate they were since we don't know what their programmed target was. They've had far more failures than successes, and that demonstrates they have incredibly low reliability figures.
Let's also remember that there's still no real evidence they were behind the Sony hack. I'm all for stopping NK from causing trouble and helping their people, but we're hardly at risk in the US mainland. What we really need to worry about is them striking SK or Japan, because that they can do reliably and inflict a lot of damage not just to those nations, but the world economy and stability.
