This is because you are Canadian.
Wisconsin is an open carry state, where you require a permit to purchase a handgun but not a rifle (long gun). So no permit to purchase or carry an 'assault style' semi automatic rifle (like Rittenhouse carried). The 'restrictions' on carrying fully automatic weapons state "Machine guns may not shoot pistol cartridges and may not be possessed aggressively or offensively."
In these circumstances it's a bit less surprising.
