While the National Rifle Association and North Korea and Iran may not like each other, there is one policy position they all mutually share in common: They all do not approve of the United States government interfering with and preventing their right to own and possess the weapons and armaments they choose in the interests of self-defense.

While the U.S. president might speak in glowing terms of approval to the NRA and threatening disapproval toward North Korea and Iran, his approving comments would probably change and he has become well-known for changing his mind when the guns become known to be pointed in his direction, rather than at his adversaries and opponents.

Neither North Korea nor Iran may understand the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But they readily reflect understanding the principle inherent to the amendment. A Second Amendment interpreted without qualification or reservation creates a formula for self-defense being suddenly transmuted into mass self-destruction.

When any, all and everyone is armed to their maximum ability, at some random unexpected point an equally random and unexpected incendiary spark omnipotently stands to be struck for creating an Armageddon nuclear or otherwise.

We may not know what the spark might be or when it will occur -- but everyone will know when it does, and we will all come to bear the scars for our ignorance.
