If you know of any references, feel free to share them. The "evidence" for Gaara having Magnet Release comes from both Shukaku and his Dad having it. The "support" comes from Part 1, where Gaara states soaking his sand in blood makes it more powerful. Based on that, it's possible he's using Magnet Release on the iron in the blood to augment his control over the sand in his gourd, which is stated to be greater than the the amount of control he has over normal sand. Of course, it could be a red herring, retcon, or omission from the databook given how flawed it is.
