The automatic guard doesn't come from his own chakra, but from his mother's and the armour surely wasn't activated the second after his birth, and yet, he already had the rings.

Said I wouldn't comment more, and yet, here I am.

Minato and Kushina altered Naruto's seal so that when he was in danger, their remnants would appear to help him. Naruto is useless at sealing jutsu, he had no control or influence over this, it happens because of the way they set it up.

Itachi imbued Sasuke with a technique that when he saw Obito's Sharingan, Sasuke's would automatically use Amaterasu to try and deep fry the git and later made it so that when his crow saw hs Sharingan, it would activate and use Koto-Amatsukami.

These two instances prove that not only is it possible for a person to create a circumstance based release ability on another, but that someone can create the same effect with another person's technique.

Now, we know, since he still has the shield after Shukaku is removed, that it wasn't dependant on the Bijuu and we know it was put in place by Karura.

This leaves two possibilities. Either the Sand Shield was an ability held by Karura and she used a technique to pass it onto her son, or it's an ability Gaara possesses naturally (eg. through his genetic inheritance of Magnet Release) and Karura somehow rigged it to produce an automatic response.

Now I'm not saying this is evidence for Magnet release, merely pointing out that it is very easy to come up with why Gaara would have this ability active from Birth without any knowledge of how to mold chakra himself. So please don't goo around flippantly disregarding this as possible, even if you don't believe he has magnet release.
