Why was Missouri's SAPA ruled unconstitutional?

Missouri's SAPA was initially ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge for violating the Supremacy Clause, which generally states that federal laws supersede state laws when they conflict. However, an appeal is ongoing.

How does Kentucky's SAPA differ from Missouri's?

Can federal agencies still enforce gun laws in states with SAPA laws?
