Back to the idea of Aragorn killing Boromir to stop him -- I don't think Aragorn would have killed Boromir if it meant taking the Ring from him, such as tracking him on his journey to Minas Tirith, slaying him, and then taking the Ring. It sounds too much like Smeagol and Deagol to me. However, if Boromir took the Ring before he got away from the rest of the Fellowship, maybe Aragorn would have killed him and then had Frodo take it back. Aragorn knew the risks of killing to take the Ring, and therefore would have avoided the situation while possible.
