Lack of guns…

Not really true. The Polish Home Army did make a couple of attempts to aid the Warsaw Ghetto fighters in 1943, but these were strictly small scale. The Poles decided against a general uprising, not because of Anti-Semitism* but because they did not feel the time to be right. Despite this, those Ghetto survivors who managed to stay hidden in the ghetto’s ruins did emerge to fight along the Home Army when the latter did rise in August 1944. Most of them sadly died when Stalin halted the Red Army’s advance and let the Germans crush the uprising.
