You're making two errors here.
1. While it's true that you're more likely to be injured by a sober driver than by a drunk driver, that's because there are many more sober drivers on the road at any given moment than drunk ones. The drunk drivers are still a greater risk (you are more likely to be injured by a sober driver than a drunk driver, but the drunk driver is more likely to injure someone than the sober driver is -- probability is fun). This is why we arrest people for driving drunk, even if they haven't hurt anyone.
2. On the other hand, an assault weapon does not pose a greater risk to people around it than a non-assault weapon. For that matter a handgun is the most likely weapon to injure someone; it's the drunk driver of this situation.
