The original purpose of the FOID card when introduced in the 1960s was to keep blacks from buying/possessing firearm and ammunition. Mayor Daley, who championed the FOID card, admitted this in his infamous call to LBJ trying to get him to do something at the federal level. The $10 charge was a substantial chunk of money in those days.
