This would be a nice step in the right direction...

I'm not a marijuana consumer and not likely to ever become one.

Having said that, I'm curious to know if this legislation is going to be a stepping stone to gun control/gun confiscation from those who consume marijuana?

Those of us who live in states like Hellinois for example and have medical marijuana cards (I do not ...) cannot legally purchase guns or ammo in this state already. In fact, applications for FOID cards and Conceal/Carry permits in this state have specific questions on them pertaining to drug use (marijuana) and psychological care which are used to deny marijuana users or those who seek psychiatric treatment ineligible for them.

Lying on these forms is considered a perjury and subject to prosecution and the State of Illinois for example has the capability to cross-check medical marijuana users against FOID/Conceal Carry permit requests to disqualify them and identify cases for perjury.

So will any Federal regulation remediate these issues or just complicate them more and disqualify more and more people from exercising their Second Amendment rights?

Unless they deny ONLY users of LEGAL marijuana, users will be no more 2A-restricted under federal noncriminalization than they are today.
