No. Both Wisconsin and federal law prohibit you from possessing firearms, and while there is a provision in the federal law that allows one to apply to the BATFE for restoration of gun rights, Congress de-funded the processing of those applications about twenty years ago, so while the law is on the books, there is currently no way to use it.
