I think that in the end that if I were Sam, I would have been merciful to Gollum. I am that type of person. I will not be run over -I will defend myself and those around me, but if there is another way, I chose that. Knowing the words of Olorin (Gandalf) - not an exact quote.

Some live that deserve death. Others die that deserve life. Can you give it to them. Then do not be eager to deal out death in judgement... He may have yet some part to play.

I would let Gollum live, I would have to. If Frodo did claim the Ring, then I would have to step in and do something, no matter how drastic. - Let's just say that I have had to take some drastic measures to protect someone people in my family twice.
